How far down should cutouts be????

[FerrariTruck]

alright i'm getting my midpipes together...Just finished makin both of the flanges and i'm laying out all the bends and stuff. Yet my pops and i cant agree on where the cutouts should be. He says they should go right before the trans crossmember, I'm thinkin i should put em right after the trans crossmember just to get em as far down as possible. However this does put
the left cut out at a weird angle, almost parallel to the drive shaft. what do you guys think-rec?

 

[Nowwhat]

you want the exhaust to exit as far away from the engine bay and the cab as possible....

yeah but i only have two options,
1) before crossmember, keeps both cutouts at equal distance from exh, manifolds.
2) after crossmember , keeps cutouts farther from engine but puts leaves the left one aiming at the drive shaft.

nothing like taking a $50k truck and cutting it all up.... ...Don't you think you should break into the 13's before you make your truck sound fast...?

I'm sure the cutouts will do some thing other make noise..cause
Boss after these are finished, 12's will be the next obstacle
Also just in case I dont hit 13's, It will be easy to just bolt in the oem mids back in since i didnt do anything to them:dontknow:

Benz....where you been.....?....saw your ride at DC....will be there tomorrow....(what a shock)....

Yeah I used to be slow.....but I have never run a 14.....

 

[FerrariTruck]

well 14's will be in my past as of saturday. Even so, paycheck by paycheck I will catch to you in the future...

 

[mauiSRT/10]

Ferrari, you could run 13's with what you got. Launching properly and shifting at 5500 every shift will get you there. Of course launching is the difficult part.

Ive had 9 different exhaust setups all with the cutouts in 2 different locations. The best results for sound and power i have found is, right when the pipes come together put an x-pipe (best) or h-pipe and 8-12 inches later put the cutouts, face one at a 45 degree angle downward in both directions.

Sound come out evenly on both sides of the truck, they are easy to get to.
And you still get the functionality of the crossover even with the caps off.
The crossover gets rid of the rasp and popping from the caps
