Default Where to cut it out?

I should be getting my cut out put in pretty soon and I'm curious where people have had luck putting it? I'm thinking maybe a little further back from there the cat used to be on the y-pipe? Would this be too close to the headers and give me issues with the backpressure? I dont want to bend a valve or screw something up with this thing.

think you're a little too worried about it. I would just put it right before the axle.

Lol, ok sounds good enough. I would rather be laughed at for asking a stupid question than be laughed at for destroying my car because of something stupid. Thanks!

Who needs a write up? lol Just do it. Run a power wire and a ground wire to the switch. Put the plate on the pipe, and run the wire from the electric motor to wherever the switch is at.

Me too, but it really doesn't take that much. find a spot in the fuse panel that is on with the key only, and wire the power to there. Then just ground it to the chassis/body somewhere.
