Default borla xr1 question

for those of you with this muffler is it possible to run e-cutout along with this muffler since they both go on the i-pipe?

also if you have this system can you post some pics of your setup

In my I pipe i have a bullet muffler along with my E-cutout. It is possible, and my bullet muffler is 26" long. I have no idea how long the XR-1 is?

The xr-1 is not as long as that one but its diameter is way bigger. My cutout is mounted up a little closer under the rear passenger seat. It might be possible if you move the cutout closer to the axle like torchd
