Best place to put a cutout?
so in the next month or so i plan on putting a 3" electric cutout in my 95 z28. it has pacesetter LTs and ORY, i was only planning on running one single cutout somewhere down on the I pipe.
so where is the best place to put a cutout that allows for the most room? or where is the best spot for performance (if there is any gains idc really)

you can put it anywhere, just make sure you have the motor and all on the cutout when you position it on the pipe. you may have to rotate it before it is welded for ground clearance.
also you can get the QTP oval cut out that is positioned on rounded sections of your piping. you could position it where the Borla's cut out is.

x3 there's an indention in the body molding perfect for the cutout to exit towards the pass side
I want to say any cutout will be fine since if it's positioned properly you're gonna drag other things before you have to worry about smashing it

it really depends on harmonics, you can actually tune the exhaust system with where you put the cutout, programs like PipeMax can help with that, but if you just want noise then before the axle somewhere where you have the most clearance possible.

I like RGSS's, but it looks like it'd get in the way if you had to do anything with the rear or driveshaft. Like I said there is a spot just further up from that about 3/4 the way down the I-pipe that works perfect and you can use a standard cutout. Looks like the one pictured is a custom made cutout also which could pose a problem for some.
