Options abound.
I will offer from experience that if you think you're like me and sort of use the cut-outs in reverse, that is to drive mostly with them open and only close when you need some quiet or not to wake up the neighbors, then you want to consider the exhaust factor. If you're mounting them under the car somewhere then the exhaust will be rolling up into the car. If the engine is stock and you have cats it is still very clean, but can still leave you stinking of exhaust on your clothes over time and gets annoying. That in mind, if you're going to get some pipes welded then you might consider setting the pipes up to run basically from the drop behind the axles to the back side of the Borla tip pipe. Then install the cut-out mid-pipe or at the drop and when you open up it all still flows out the back as it should similar to the Titanium bypass mod.
