Electric cutout.. but where?

I've decided I'm going to get an e-cutout.. but I don't know where to put it. I can put one when the Y merges into one pipe, or I can get a double one and put it in the headers. Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas? Pros/cons of any location?

The portion of the i-pipe right before the rear axle is a popular spot due to the available space.

I've seen (and I plan to put mine) them put in spot right before the pipe enters the muffler.

Right on the 90degree bend after the axle.

Perfect spot as far as I can see - the sound is coming from the back of the car and the exhaust gases are still exiting the rear.

Mine too. Only mines not an electric. I only use mine for the track. Takes 1 min. to take the plate off.

Mine's at the same place, manual though. Before the headers/new motor, I used to have it open all the time, but now its a good bit louder, so an electric one is coming soon. I hate having to uncap/cap it.
