ok i have a 96 lt1 trans am,with pacesetter lt's and ory pipe, and i want to get electric cutouts , should i put 1 behind the y pipe or should i get 2 and put 1 each behind the header collectors so they are coming straight off the headers?

Just put one right before where the pipe goes over the axle.

most people put it after the y-pipe. right after the headers will be stupid loud and annoying. but its all personal preference really. anywhere you want to put it you can. there isnt a right or wrong spot

many people use just one cutout after the y-pipe merge, mainly to save money haha. 2 cut-outs isn't really necessary, unless you want insane amounts of noise. also, i believe that the y-pipe merge helps with scavenging.

ok well i didnt know if there was a certain length u had behind the header collector for enough back pressure

back pressure is not needed. you should be more concerned about exhaust velocity and scavenging.

camarostripes96

what do u mean by exhaust velocity?

sdm1234

iTrader: (8)

the speed in which the exhaust gases comes out (determined by tubing diameter and length, and the temperature)

before the axle ^^^^^ is the most efficient IMO

what if you had high flow cats in the y. anypoint in putting one just after the y or buy 2 and put them before the cats?
