Default electric cutouts in here

Im installing a dmh electric cutout, already have the qtp cutout welded on my intermediate pipe just before it goes over the axle, and trying to add the dmh motor. It seems like the end of the electronic motor would hang a little low so I was wondering if you guys could post pics of yours so I have a good reference. And how/where you hooked them up up to and including the switch. Thanks.

No pics, but mine hangs pretty low. However, mine is also further back than normal. Its almost between the tires. I'll try to get a pic soon.

This is the best pic I could get. I haven't rubbed it on a speedbump yet.

Nice. How'd you hook it up and where'd you run wires and put switch?

It's actually a raceland cutout and the motor is built onto the ypipe. I cut it at the merge, cut a hole in my hooker catback i-pipe, and welded it up. The wires are ran up through the drain plug under the passenger seat. The raceland cutout has a keyfob and a wireless module that I've got mounted under my console. I'm not sure about reliability, but it's definitely cool to be outside the car and hit the wireless switch.

From your location, yeah use the black rubber plug at the bottom pass. rear seat. and run the switch to which ever location you like, you'll probably be coming up through the center console. Mine is not too low, but it is low.

This past summer I ran one of these, until the damn thing burned out on me. Even though it burned out it was still one of the most fun mods I've done to my car. Being able to go from the sound of open headers to stock exhaust tone within 3seconds was awesome . I had mine mounted off of the I pipe. I had it tucked up by the rear passenger seat. There's sort of a hump that it should tuck into. Best spot I could find for clearance. The switched was mounted in my ashtray since I don't smoke and also concealed it from nosey mechanics. Sorry I have no pictures; I had a ton of them, but my pc fried and I lost them all.
