My bad.. I read it wrong. I though you were wanting pics of where the cut outs were.

I have my switch by my left knee area to the right of the light ****.

instead of cutting a hole you could always put spacers inbetween the block off plate and your cutout.

For me, it was the sound. I heard you may lose a little TQ down low, but that you gain some HP up top. Not a big deal, more of a noise maker, I have 2 ecutouts and sounds like a monster going down the track. This was a slower 11.2 run, but you can hear the cutouts.
so ecutouts are mostly for sound? I always thought they were for performance to get around the restrictions that mufflers and especially cats placed on the performance side, aswell as sound of course.

Im trying to find a way of having cats but bypassing them somehow with the flick of a switch, hmmm... The ws6 i should be getting soon has true duals with no cats at the moment and only dual mufflers, tips are dumped, but im planning on making them go to the end so i can get corsa/corsa clones put on. I need to figure out how to put cats or actually id like just to have something that looks like cats just for the visual inspection so either a de-catted cat or something i can quickly remove after im done the visual. Im so confused lol

They will still show power gains open vs closed on the dyno. As for a visual it's technically illegal to move the location of your cats so you might be screwed. Best bet is to just find a shop that will hook you up. If you really want cats you could always put in dual cutouts (before the cats) but that will just double the cost. I've never heard dual cutouts but I bet it sounds pretty badass open.
