a cut out is just basically for show. It sounds nice when its open and its fun to show off but dont expect any hp gains from it. If I where you, I would mount it towards the back by the rear axle, thats where I had mine on my old car, that way it is loud but you dont have such a bad drone in the car if it was say up front or in the middle of the car.

The cam should make it idle different, hence hearing the cam. Thanks for the input.

I have a cutout and I can hear my cam like crazy. Also, whoever said you don't gain any hp, do a search please

Mount it right before the rear axle, before it bends over. Sounds great but beware, its VERY loud

+1 on the mounting location.

I have seen a car make 10 rwhp from it and all she had was a lid and catback. I even seen an FI car make 50 rwhp from them being opened. I wouldn't say don't expect any gains.
