Default E cutout question?

Those of you guys running E cutouts where did you run the wires into the car? I haven't been under my car and really looked but I do plan on adding one before long and I was wondering if i had to cut holes in the floor or if they're was a hole (Im putting it at the end of the I pipe) toward teh back of the car that it can come up through or will i need to run them from one end of the car to the other and bring them through the firewall ? Thanks

There are rubber grommets in the backseat well (under carpet) or you can route the wires through the shifter base boot. Both are an easy route to the center console. Here's a pic of the wire going through the grommet. You can also see the old black wire before I removed it that I had tie wrapped to the subframe connector, then up to the shifter boot.

Thanks. It's a Pacesetter 3" Y to a 4" Flowmaster merge and a DMH. All the misc stuff was from Jegs.

Mine is setup exactly like above. I drilled through the floor under the rear seat and installed a grommet, then re-installed the bottom seat cushion.

I'm running through the rubber grommet in the back as well.
