Default Cutout location

I was thinking of putting a cutout right at the elbow of the exhaust as it goes into the muffle here is a pic, also do you think it would effect my tune. I wouldnt think since its this far from the o2 sensors. What do you think?

Most cutouts are flat. How is it going to fit at an elbow?

Putting it that far back will have no effect on your o2 sensors or your tune.

I will be putting it into the pipe that goes into the muffler i figured it would be like the adjustable borla catback since it will be back there, its more so for sound than anything else. And also i wanted opinions on the tune. I figured it shouldn't hurt, but figured i would ask since there are guys that have put cutouts on their car.
