Default Electric Cutout

I am going to be doing an electric cutout soon when I do headers and a y pipe, and have a few questions for people that already have one...

When wiring it up, where is the best place to wire the power to?

Where is the best place to route the wiring?

Where is the best location in the exhaust to put the cutout?

Thanks

you could wire to cigarette lighter or power seats

put it after y pipe but before rear axle. there is a good spot where it has room to fit nicely under rear passenger seat.

route it through the hole under rear passenger seat, you will see a black plastic lid cap piece, go through there.

if you need more help, there is a ton of info about this if you search for it.
