stock ypipe is 2.5"

the stock intermediate pipe is 2.75" behind the ypipe merge

were you gonna use 2 cutouts on the ypipe? or one on the I-pipe?

3" would be right for the I-pipe

Right under the rear passenger seat about 6 inches before the pipe runs up over the axle. It's probably the most common place for them if you have a manual cutout. I have an electric cutout and still put it there because I lost no ground clearance with it there.

the intermediate pipe runs between where the 2 sides of the ypipe join, and the muffler.

as stated, a 3" cutout, under the rear seat before the axle.

ideal location.

Put it a little bfore where you said "put it here?". I would take it to an exhaust shop and have them weld it in. I took mine to a local meinike and they said they just did the same thing for a guy the week before. I got my y-pipe welded and the cutout installed and welded for $65 out the door.
