Default Exhaust cutout?

I was digging around and was looking to see if there were any previous threads but didnt find any. if i'm asking an already asked question sorry, new here.

I saw this video on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BjM99OpqTRY

and i was wondering if anyone here has gotten any cutouts? if you did, from where, and did you notice any difference (other then noise)?

Did you get the single or dual? and do you have a stock exhaust?

i know there have been some who have put it right after the DP but i didnt want it that loud and i know others have put it further down the line of the res. i think some have it exiting right by the rear tire after the couple of bends from the res.

i want it kinda loud but nothing to get pulled over for, would having it further up near the DP or further away would effect the performance? anyone?

Just place it after the resonator right before the Y-split to the mufflers. Its not that loud and it sounds good.

paul made up a video of him driving around and his and my cut out are mounted in a very smilar place to the one in the above photo. i mounted mine where the straight part is that u can see just before the cut out in the picture. Which required them welding a new hanger nothing major.

i wouldnt think there would be a very noticeable gain whether it was put closer to the DP or further down. im thinking itll just be louder closer to the DP and a lil quiter down the line. i have had no issues with cops but my town is full of trucks with straight pipes that make me car sound like a hybrid . here is my location.

I got one off of eBay for $150, and replaced my cat with it.

Videos here

Driven by a couple of cops with it wide open, they didn't bother me. One even gave me a thumbs up. We have some motorcycles around town just as loud if not louder.
