You can put it under the passenger side area, or I pipe.

if you look under the passenger seat. there is an area there that looks like it was made for a cutout to be placed. one cutout out is all you need.

mine is way up by the muffler, right before the gases go into the muffler, if that makes sense, it sounds pretty damn good.

You're going to have a TSP Rumbler (their version of a LM), an ORY, and you want a cutout too? You'll be deaf in 3 years!

If you so choose, then I'd put the cutout after the y-pipe and before the bullet in the exhaust. Other than that, the cutout is a waste of money IMO.

The cutout should be in front of the muffler.

A cutout is not necessary with the tsp rumbler. It will be plenty loud by itself.

That is the BEST place..especially for lowered cars...I am going to move mine there..no worries about it dragging on speed bumps anymore...You should seriously take a look there and give it some thought..with it there, you also have alot less noise and vibration in the car itself.
