Cutout Placement Problems with LM? I was just wondering...
I hear most people put theirs under the rear passenger seat.....
But I am buying SLP LM and i was wondering if the cutout will still fit into the impression spot with the resonator pipe being in about the same spot??
If so, where should i put the cutout...

have a shop do it with their own pipe. They'll just cut a hole on the side of your exhaust pipe where you specify and weld on a short pipe with the 3-bolt flange on the end. as long as there isn't a muffler in the way, they can do it anywhere, lol
I can't find pics anymore but some people used to do the "zed-style" cut-out, named after the former admin of ls1.com but now at ls2.com
basically you put the cut-out facing the back of the car, angled down a little, right where the pipe starts to curve up to go over the axle. That way most of the exhaust will go down the i-pipe and straight out the end of it.

VERY TRUE! DUH! What am i saying! Zed cutout was only for stock exhaust & why would you put a cutout after the muffler! My brain is missing
Give me the dunce hat cuz i've been an idiot today.

Having had Loudmouth catback and now stock with cutout.....I wouldn't bother with a cutout. Performance, I didn't notice anything. No real difference in 1/4 mile MPH. Sound.....pretty close. Loudmouth was a little more raspy but both are loud as hell. If you look at the resonator there isn't much restriction at all.
