I have mine put under the back seats. It faces twards the right rear and fits into a spot under the car thats raised for the back reats. It's within reach of my arm when I lay on the ground next to the car for easy access. No pics.

I just put a 3"QTP elec cutout right before it goes into the stock muffler. I bought a header collector set, 3". The muffler shop charged me $30 to shape the collector, cut the hole in the stock pipe and weld it in. It is slightly pointed down and straight out the rear of the car. I figured it would sound better there without the resonoce you get right before the axle installed type. I then put the other collector on as a small tail pipe. I painted it with some black heat paint to hide it from rear view some. The pipe going into the muffler is 2-3/4" stock and 3" on most catback systems. It will leak a small amount when you close it while the car is running, but if I close it with the engine off then start it it the leak is very slight. Sounds good with the stock muffler when I want quiet and can give it just a little noise or a lot when I want. Can't wait to open it up half way through running a unsuspecting challenger. Sounds killer at WOT and high RPM. Later>>>>>>>>>>

Under the rear passenger seat.


Here's my pics, and pics of a few others in our club that did an install in that location.

Thanks for the replies and the pics. I guess under the passenger seat is the best place to put it. Hopefully mine will arrive soon. Thanks again.
