Put it in the I-pipe and call it a day. Have you searched for it yet? There are countless threads on this.

I would put it where the Y-pipe merges to the I pipe. Right in front of the loudmouth resonator.

you can weld cutouts anywhere.... I am thinking about welding 2 cutouts before the cats, so I can run "open headers".

It can be done but would require alot of fabbing and clearencing. i don't think its really worth it. especially on a lowered car.
