Is that possible to run on my 97. I got dual cats. If so where do they put it?

There'll be a spot in the floor pan that looks like a y. Like a cutout awas made to go there. Its on the long intermediate pipe before the pipe goes over the axle. You can reach it pretty easy from the passenger side to cap and uncap the cutout.

I picked up 2 tenths and 2 mph with my cutout vs the cat back.

You'll definitely see a nice gain with a cutout, the stock catback is a pretty big restriction when you have headers and no cats.
