Default Electric Cutout Location?

Where is the safe place to put my electric cutout? I'm worried about putting it too close to the front and have heat damage. I was thinking about putting it where my Y-pipe ends....

suggestions?

I gotta find room also lol

I put mine in the I pipe just before it went over the axle. There is a space under the rear seat that is almost made for a cutout.

Take a look under your car... There is a PERFECT spot under the rear seat. It's like it was meant to be there - there is even a grommet to send the wires through. Check it out, you'll see

will it still be loud?

being up next to the headers would be so loud

my cutout comes with a 12ft cord...i guess that would be long enough if i put it under the rear seat

Run it through the grommet you see right next to it, there is MORE THAN ENOUGH cord on that thing. I have at least 2-3' wound up in my console.

It is plenty loud too

would it get too hot by the end of the y-pipe?

yeah the rear seat is a good spot for it....i'd just like to hear the difference in noise between the rear seat vs. the end of the y-pipe

It won't be any louder at the end of the Y pipe - you are talking about the difference of a foot. Mine is pretty friggin loud (w, LT's and ORY). It gained me 0.1 at the track!
