Default E-cutouts

Anyone have any experience on putting an e-cut out on our exhaust?

If so where about did you install it.

Install it anywhere you want or can in the mid-pipe or axle-back; I'd suggest somewhere where there is a single pipe, so you'll only have to purchase one E-cutout instead of two.

that was the plan but then I realized I wanted to keep it as stock as possible so I would like to keep the resonator. I thought about installing them before the cats but I'm not sure if there will be enough space. Opinion?

What does an E cutout do? Is that the switch people install to make their cars louder or quiter on the go?

I'm pretty sure they work on any exhaust, all your doing it cutting out a piece of the pipe and instal a y looking pipe that has a butterfly valve on the end of it which basically looks like the throttle body valve but is controlled electronically by a switch in the cabin

It's basically a throttle body with an electric motor; lets the exhaust gases pass through the opening (instead of the full exhaust system) with quite the increase in noise.
