    i have a 3" and i have it in the hump under the rear passenger seat. i works great right there especially if you have an electric cutout

    stock size is 2.75in. A 3in cutout will slip over it and work nice when welded in.

    i had a 3" cutout with LTs and ORY that I left open until I installed a big cam...

    once the cam was installed and LM2 followed. cutout and cam was too loud and too many fumes in the car, even with a great tune.

    Its basically like running open headers. Most weld it on the headers right before it splits into the Y-pipe. This way the fumes come straight out of the headers and into the ground instead of making their way back to the rear of the car and out the exhaust tips. Performance wise I heard mix reviews (gaining power), but sound wise its ear bleedingly loud!!!

    true about the smell... the scent of it didnt bother me, but my gf and I would both start feeling dizzy or lightheaded if we where stuck in traffic too long with the cut out open.

    So now I run the LM2, all fumes and smell exit the back instead of under the cab

    DMH cutout with a Hooker Catback is like the best of both worlds. Quiet when it has to be and loud when I want it to be.
