No room between cats and headers, regardless if you have stock or aftermarket. I think your best placement would be right after the header to catback flange...

I installed mine after the cat's. Sounded great

When I put my headers on part of the pipe from the stock catback had to be cut. So now I dont have cutouts anymore

Are you installing low profile cutouts or standard style cutouts?

Just take into consideration that you are gonna have to chop off about 1 ft. of your stock catback when you put your headers on

IF you have the stock resonator on I would put them directly before that. I wouldnt put them too far forward.

Thats the ENTIRE point of a cutout is to make it loud and efficient, and close them so its quiet when you want. lmao

I have mine post resonator, pre mufflers.

I'm sure pre-resonator would be loudest.
