Cutout on Firehawk

I have a 96 fire hawk which means that I have dual cats... right? I want to put a cut out, so do i need 2 cutouts or just one? Where do i them/it? I was told to put them right after the cats, but someone told me to put it on the I pipe! Which set up is correct.

mine is right before the I-pipe jumps over the axle. right after the cats would probably be really loud inside the car and might make some vibrations.

where you install your cutout on a stock exhaust doesnt really matter (for most people) whether you have single or dual cats!
most people have the cutout installed on the stock exhaust pipe right b4 it bends upwards and starts its route over the rear axle, so the cutout is still facing towards the rear of the car

i would say that is probably the most popular place to put it!? easiest access, quitest location and it will help keep the exhaust from getting into the car when at a stop light or in the staging lanes

I have a friend who has an ls1 with a cutout right after the cat, I didnt think it was loud at all, I expected it to be much louder.
