cutout being installed tomarrow, need tips

Does anybody have photos of there cut out under the car? I'm still unsure of where "exactly" it goes

. Some say under the passenger rear seat. The cut out is going to be the flowtech 3incher.

Thanks

Most put it under the passenger rear seat, as it's one of the few places with enough room.

Cool sounds good enough. Does it need to be installed at a certain angle?

that really depends on weather or not you will add an electric flange to it like QTP, you would need enough room so that the motor can point upwards toward the car and not downward toward the ground and get ripped off.

Just got back from installng it, at first i was disappointed, it sounds the same on the inside as stock but only vibrates more. I made my friend drive it and i stood outside of it, and its quite a bit louder on the outside. Does this seem right?

It honestly won't be LOUD, if that is the only modification to the exhaust it'll sound pretty good, relatively quite inside. I honestly love em' on stock cars, I think it sounds awesome.

Its pretty damn loud outside at 1500 and above, relatively quite inside.
What do you guys think I should do next? Gutted cats, no cats, ORY? I'm going to have to keep the stock manifolds for awhile.

I don't understand how is doesn't sound louder than stock. Inside my car, my cutout is at least twice as loud than my Hooker catback.

My friend did the same today with his 92 truck, "before" the cat. So maybe riding with him made my car not seem very loud, because his truck is VERY loud.
