I have mine after the cat right before the i pipe goes over the axel. For performance purposes I heard that it is best to have it ~30 inches from the y pipe. Also before the cat would be loud and mine is really loud as is right now.

if you have emissions it has to be after the cat. Otherwise throw it in before!

i think what you are thinking of is when you run open shorty headers, and you turn your car off, the cool air could get to the valves quicker and mess them up, but a cut out shouldnt have that affect.
