Default Need electric cutout placement advice quick!

Ok I have a 99 Z28 with Borla catback and I bought a dmh electric cutout with flowtech pipe... I am taking it somewhere tommorow to be installed and am not sure where to tell them to place it. Where have you guys placed your cutouts on the exhaust system (specifically)? Any problems? How does it work with the flowtech pipe? Do they just cut out a portion of the existing pipe and weld that into that place? Thanks

I remember reading on here that a member put a cutout on his borla and with the open plates he didn't gain any hp from the cutout...I'd rather put that electric cutout where the plates go that way you can make it really really quite or loud
