Mine is under the passenger seat, with a rcsb that's about the only place it can go.

As close to the headers as possible.

Thanks! Do you think it will tone down the sound a bit I have Lt headers no cats true dual back to some magnaflow mufflers and it's super loud...eventually getting some cats to help but do you think the x will make a difference

Not really. It will mellow the tone a bit, but that's about it.

High flow cats will help also longer tail pipes will help to

Mine was super loud and annoying, the x cut the sound about 80%

If you extend the pipes up and over the rear axle it will help considerably with "in cab" noise especially at cruising speeds. You can still turn it down after the rear axle so you cant see it if thats the look you want.
