Default Cutout location?

So I've got my cutout here waiting, and I just bought some tips and the hogan DP which should be here on Friday. I was looking under the car and I wanted to place the cutout as far back as possible before the Y split to the mufflers. It doesn't exactly look easily accessible for quick capping/uncapping. Where did you guys place yours? I think I might have to order my DMH electric valve sooner than I thought.

Kinda off the subject but kinda not. I'm getting ready to put this lateral arm into monte and need to remove the exhaust to remove the crossmember. I havn't really got a chance to get under it enough to see where its possible to remove the exhaust. Anyone know if this is possible with regular tools ? I got a glimpse of where the cat meets the rest of the exhaust and it looks like pressed bolts.

My installer said that it should be after the cat. I leave my spare at home when I go to the track. It takes a little less than 10 minutes to pull the jack, raise the car, uncork and put the jack back up. PITA! Electric would be much nicer.

I put mine right before the y. It fits nicely between the rear lateral links.

I put my cutout before the split by the pass. side rear wheel. Near the front of the straight part of pipe on that side. It dumps right infront of the rear wheel and it avoids any clearance issues as far as speedbumps and things go
