Default Where to mount electric cutouts??

How should I design my exhaust setup? This is what I have so far getting ready to install:
-Summit longtube headers
-2 1/2" Spintech mufflers
-3" QTP dual electric cutouts

Post up pics of your exhaust setup

I would mount the cut-outs at the headers.Also the small screws in the motors of the cut-outs need to be taken out and reinstalled with loc-tite,they tend to come out.

Are you going with electric cut outs? Those things are pretty cool!

They're expensive but are easier to open up that way.
I'd put them a couple of inches behind the collector and angled towards the outside of the car, not straight down.

True, but then I dont have to crawl under the car just to cap/un-cap them I just do it at the push of a button. Also if I have them open and I pass by a cop or I end up being right next to a cop at a stop light all I have to do is just push the button and they'l close up again and flow through my Spintechs.
