OEM exhaust...where is this dimple?

I am going to upgrade my exhaust and everyone mentions making sure my muffler shop cuts the old muffler off at the "dimple". Where exactly is this dimple? I want to make sure I point out the correct place to cut the muffler.

It's after the angle coming out of the muffler if I remember correctly about a foot or two away and you can feel it on the bottom. When I did mine I couldn't see it because it was dirty so I wiped it down and found it

Thank you! Much appreciated! Now I know where to tell my muffler guy to look and cut!

I would totally do this myself but I need to have an adapter piece made and welded as the muffler I am installing has a 5mm larger diameter pipe than what on my car now.

Thank you for the pic though! Its greatly appreciated!
