Where to mount a cutout Options

[Mike]

I just bought an exhaust cutout and I'm trying to figure out where along the exhaust pipe I should install it, has anyone got any pictures of our underneath our cars? I need to see exactly where the best place to mount the cutout would be, also if anyone here has a cutout please let me know where you mounted it thanks!!

well the ideal location to eliminate restriction would be before the cat if thats practical.

I think the ideal as far as spacing, is going too be before the resonater. There is a big strech of pipe there that doesn't have bends or anything. Why did you get it for a NA car with no serious mods? I'm sorry to say, but all it's going to do is make it loud. You might actually pick up a couple hp, but nothing you couldn't get from a good exhaust. I cut my pipe before the resinater and drove like that for a couple miles. I did this when I was removing the resonater. The sound was so loud it gave me a headache in just a couple minutes. My advice is to try and resell this thing. But, if you really want to keep it, mount it before the resinater. Might think about a good header too. That will probably pick up hp numbers a decent amount.

Thanks, I appreciate the response, and I'm not in this for the power, I gave up on the 5S-FE long ago, I just want to do it for the sound, goddamn it sounds good! I know I won't be making any signifigant gains, and I'm cool with that, I'll save the go fast stuff once I get a true sports car..
