I just finished up installing my E-cutout and thought that some if this info may help you guys out that are going to do this.
1. Mount under rear passenger seat
2. Run wires through the rubber gromets in the bottom of both rear seats
3. I ran my wires under the carpet to the TCS switch
4. Tie into a power and ground source and mount the switch
(Here are a few pics that may be somewhat useful)

Is it just the way you took the picture or were you concerned with ground clearance? that thing looks to be pointed right at your floorboard.

X2. Isn't the fuel tank located around there?

It is not as close as you think. whoever is sitting in the passenger side rear seat is gonna be warmer than the rest. It may not be bad at all though. I doubt it will effect anything. Just as long as it is not aimed at fuel/brake lines it should be rock solid.

I see you put it right before the curved pipe the enter the muffler; kinda where i was thinking of doin it. It is real loud in the cabin?

if your an auto you pretty much have to run the wires through the grommet in the rear but if your a stick you can just run it through the boot on the shifter between the floorboard and the heatshield

I remember seeing a post where a guy that had been riding around with his open had his car catch on fire. The grease from his leaky pinion seal fueled the fire quite nicely.

We tucked the cutout up pretty high because I didn't want any clearance issues with it. It's actually just pointed right at the bottom on the rear seat, its not near anything to cause any problems. It's also plenty loud right where it's at. Inside the car, its pretty loud at higher rpm's but not bad at all at crusing speeds.

is that b/c he didn't have cats and the exhaust "flamed"? Is this common???!!! Maybe ill just wait till i get headers to louden up the exhaust. My maganflow isn't that quiet to risk the car catching on fire. I do have a grease on my center diff and trq arm b/c of that seal...

so i assume as long as you have cats (which i do) you're NOT going to have an issue???

Also, where can you find approved heat sheilding?

I was thinking more along the line of installing a dump fitting so that it dumps the heat away form the floor pan.

But I suppose one could get heat sheild material from a car in the bone yard and fab something up. Or from metal duct work. Or you could prolly find something at Home depot.

Nightrydass

a dump fitting? Is that like a turn down that attaches to the end of the electric cut-out (like the borla system)? Can you buy that or is it custom made?

I think a cut-out is the best thing to suite my needs; however, i don't want to risk burning my car down. I have grease on my diff as well as part of my DS and associated heat-sheild (u know like splatter). Come to think of it i have NEVER actually seen any grease leak, just the remains. lol.

man I feel sorry for the poor soul who has to sit in that seat during a long trip in the summer. "Please for the love of God, turn off your seat warmers!"
