Mine is nothing special. I have it fastened to my nitrous bottle under my back seat. It's easily accessible from the driver's seat and hidden out of the way.

lol.... well, my y-pipe is all back together but it still feels like its mis firing. I checked the wires, and one was left kinda loose. I put it back, it still mis fires but not as bad. My guess is that they cracked a spark plug when they took the headers off. Ill b checking it in the morning....
