Hey guys, can I mount this under the dash area or does it “need” to be in the engine bay? Just trying to tidy up as the previous owner was up there on care factor I don’t think

Cheers

You can mount it under the dash, there is no reason why it needs to be in the engine bay.

I second the motion. In cabin is probably "better" but a bit more hassle. Mine in the engine compartment like 95% of others. Either way is fine.

Mine is mounted on the passenger's side A pillar behind the fender. Chuck

I've seen these mounted inside the cabin multiple times. It's cleaner and the unit will last longer, as you'll keep the electronics away from engine heat and humidity. If you don't mind running the wiring inside the car and fandangling with the box in a hidden location, it's definitely the way to go.

One word of caution, some electronic boxes can squeal or whine, and depending on the sensitivity of your hearing, can be annoying. Of course, a nice sounding exhaust will drown out the noise from the box. Or, if your hearing is like mine, I'd have to have 5 or 6 boxes squealing to hear them. My wife's hearing, however, seems to have gotten better over the years and it would annoy her, even with the exhaust.
