yes you can. buy 1, 3" electric cutout and it will fit under the passanger rear seat. there is a spot for it. just have it welded in and run the wires thru the rubber grommet under the rear passanger seat

yes, the best place is about 3 inches after the weld where the y-pipe connects into one.

NO IT ISN'T--further back then 3"--under rear passenger seat there is an indentation for it...99.9% of us put a single cutout in that spot.
