Question Wire Routing for e-cutout

I have a DMH e-cutout and it's installed right before the exhaust goes over the axle. I want to mount the switch right below the shift selector. Where is there a good spot to pass the wire through the floor if any?? Do I have to drill and if so where's the best spot to do it??

Ack, whats the point of the cut out way back there? Kinda defeats the puprose, should have put it right after the Y-Pipe that way you can run the wires up through the transmission tunnel. Just run the wires underneath to the front up the shifter tunnel if you got it way back there.

It's actually one of the best spots for the cutout as is my understanding. I'm pretty sure a lot of people put theirs there. I tried looking for a hole under the shift selector cover to put the wire through but I couldn't find one?? Am I just missing it or should I put it through the grommet for the shift linkage??

There's a grommet behind the rear seats that you can take out and run the wire there. From there, just take it under the carpet or whatever to your console.

A big reason to put the cutout by the axle is for ground clearance. I can't run mine right now because of that reason. If I install it, it becomes the lowest thing on my car. It's already pretty scraped up from the short times I've had it on the car.
