Check out the 2nd and 5th reply in this thread.

To summarize though, I had it welded on the intermediate pipe right where the other guy's pictures show, but I lost some ground clearance and ended up hitting a raised manhole cap with it, so I had it relocated to the location shown in the 2nd reply.

Don't know about the other thread just mentioned, but I put mine in the intermediate pipe right before it goes over the axle. Where I put it, there is just enough room to angle it sideways (dumping out the passenger side), so I lost no ground clearance; you can't even tell it's there.

"you can't even tell it's there"

except for the awesome sound

i had mine in the same spot before the axle for 2 years without any scrapping.

i suggest maybe buying a turndown so that you can direct the exhaust away from the frame and axle

When i do mine im going to install it right before the muffler input. It sounds good, and its VERY easy access.

Do you have any pics of what that would look like? Thats where i was thinking of putting mine but i haven't seen anybody else do it there so i wasn't sure if there would be a problem.
