Default exhaust cut-out

hey guys i ordered a cut-out and im wondering where i should put it for the best performance. as in how far down the exhaust. my engine is pretty much stock except k&n filter, diablosport tune and alt pulley. should i put it right after where the cat back exhaust starts, where the flange connector is ? thanks justin

if you have an extended cab dont put it under the cab! mine is right where the cab and bed meet and it will vibrate your brains loose at the right rpm's. way louder inside than it is outside

right before the muffler thats where mine are at and most peoples it will keep you from losing as much bottom end but will still breathe well

I blew the gasket, and kept loosing the wingnuts, I had to drive 150 miles with it open, NEVER again. Mines right at the collector, but my muffler is mounted too far forward
