Where is the ideal place to mount an electric cutout?

A single right after the ORY is a common spot, and allow for easy access from the passenger side under the car if needed. Or twins in the straight sections of each side of the ORY is also commonly done.

I have been thinking about putting one on the main pipe on my stock WS6 exhaust, toward the rear of the 3 1/2 or 4" pipe and before the rear axle. I won't be putting headers or an aftermarket exhaust on this car.
What do you think of this idea? Any reason not to?

If you want to make your car louder and still be able to make it quite when you want, then go for it. If you ever decide to do longtubes, itll make the cutout sound even better.

The stock 2002 manifolds are pretty free flowing but sometimes in the summer I just wish I had it louder, for a little while, and I think I'll install and electric cut out on the main stem of the exhaust. I have an excellent local exhaust shop who does some of the major hot rods around here and I would have him install it.

The closer to you headers the louder but will also affect your tune. Some will say that you need a separate tune if you are opening up your headers. After the Y is popular but it will drone and can still require a retune. After the axle works well for sound. Doesn't drown you out but is still loud enough to set off car alarms. This location will not gain you much in HP.
If you don't have cats that will affect the sound a lot also making it more raspy.

End of the I. I have one on my z28 and love it. It is a daily driver as well. I'm really glad I didn't fork over a ton of money for full exhaust being that I am still in school. I picked my e-cutout up on CL for like $100 brand new with the Y and had an exhaust shop cut and weld it in for $38. There is almost a little cubby in the floor pan for the electric motor to tuck up into a little also. There is a rubber grommet in the floor right there too. It's almost like one was made to go there. Lol
