Default cutout or no???

Should i get a cutout??? and would this be a good way to do it....

I still dont have my BBK Lt's & ORY installed yet, so i was thinking of adding a cutout and making it like this...

LT's, ORY, Cutout, Exhaust??? would that be good?? Cutout right after the ORY?? Then it goes into the rest of the exhaust. i also wanna do the CME exhaust style, and idk if you lose a couple HP with that style. So that's why ive began thinking of a cutout.

yeah get one, what about the rest of your exhaust? yeah right after the y pipe in the I pipe, theres a spot where it tucks in nice and need by the passenger side.

i usually put mine right before the axle, but your placement sounds fine..go for it. if its a manual one plan on always leaving it open. i pretty much never capped up any of m ine

Get it before the axle, not sure why people are putting it behind the axle.

Ok thanks guy's, was just curious. I know some of you guy's get 2 cutout's and i was wondering if this would be good to just go the 1 cutout route. I will also be getting an electric cutout.

cutout will be before the axle, basically right after the y pipe and right before the LM2 muffler.
