Default Putting a Spiral Flow after the y pipe

I've heard that this sounds really good...and I think I'm going to try it. Should I weld it right after the ypipe and dump the exhaust? or weld it behind the ypipe(before the cutout) and leave the stock muffler with an electric cutout(already have one on the car)

headers ypipe cutout spiral flow dump if you had to keep the cutout. putting the spiral flow before the cutout would work too if you want a quieter cutout??

i might just get rid of the cutout...because right now with just a cutout it sounds like annoying glasspacks at WOT...but for some reason it sounds good when revving it up in park.

I made a couple of kits up for guys using a spiralflow and turndown that slipped on the end of y pipes. The sound is amazingly like a mustang with 2 chamber flowmasters dumped, which IMO sounds good. For sound you probably wont beat it, not even with duals 1 chamber flowmasters. 2 chamber flowmasters would probably sound as good or better but fitting them big ****'s under an would have them getting torn off the first bump in the road.
