Default quick cut-out question

Well I miss having a cutout, SO i bought a new one from jegs.. (whooo, go me!) Now the question. I can't put it where I normally would because my dynomax bullet muffler is in its place, now the only place I saw it could go was from the passenger side between the cat and the other little piece shown in the picture



my question would be, is it going to be just as loud being on the one side? because normally the cutout would be in the place of my bullet where both header flow together & dump out before the muffler, but this is just going to be the one side and i guess the driver side will still have alittle flow to the reg bullet.. and I know I can't put it on the driver side because that pipe is like a pancake!

if that makes any sense please chime in


ps, i found that picture of the stock ypipe from an SS. When i looked at mine, it looked like a more straighter pipe before it bends up to the passenger side header. The cutout is 10 inches and i measured the spot and it seemed to be close but it would work... (if anything have the exhaust place shave a little off the cutout)

pss. one more thing, sorry... I ordered a 3inch cutout. I'm not sure of the stock piping but I know i ordered my 3inch bullet muffler and the guy made it work with stock piping, so if i need a different size, i need to know asap because i placed my order in last night.

The dynomax bullet is on the i-pipe, so i can't put it there.

i have wanted to do that, is it hard to block that off?

There is a how-to somewhere on here. Its easier with LTs because you don't need the block off plates.

With stock exhaust manifolds you will need egr block off plates and an adjutable freeze plug to put into the intake manifold.
