I didn't install my exhaust, but I remember the tech telling me there is a rubber plug somewhere in the trunk area to route the cable to the exhaust.

I saw 1 black sealed cap all the way bottom of the trunk. But it covered by silver anti-heat plate. So i need drill to make a hole there?

I'll try to look in my trunk later today and see if I can figure this out for you.

Thank you so much
I was looking at some picture from the install. It looks like the cable is routed thru that vent in the trunk and comes out between the heat shield and the frame on the passenger side above the exhaust. I actually don't think that's the right way to do it. But it works.
