i believe most cutouts fit each other the , DMH says they fit the borla adjustable plate so im sure it will fit your QTP.
here is DMH site.

also i noticed you have magnaflow , i do as well im ordering longtubes and an eletric cutout next friday, how do you like the sound open and closed ? im most likely getting high flow cats because i live in new jersey and they are strict on emissions. just hope that the high flow and longtubes louden it up a bit when the cutout is closed and not just open.

I have a similar setup and share similar thoughts on the sound -- I typically leave my cutout 30 - 50% open....just enough to get the additional volume (and it makes the cam lope MUCH more noticeable) without having to deal with the rasp.
(I may get crucified for saying this about a sponsor) I have a QTP electric cutout -- they're easily the best known company that makes the cutouts. On a positive note, I've had it for years and the motor that drives the blade works like a charm. On a not so positive note, the part of the valve that connects to the motor is rounded out and the motor simply spins and doesn't move the valve -- I first encountered this issue a couple months after it was professionally installed. Ever since this started happening, to fix it requires me to take it off of the car, find a way to tighten the blade down as good as I can and then put it back on and hope it doesn't happen again soon. Royal PITA however outside of that it works well.
When I finally get tired of fixing this I'll probably just buy a DMH and hope for a better experience. There's a trade off -- QTP is the most well-known and well staffed but their "guarantee" sucks. DMH is the opposite end of the spectrum -- their "guarantee" is the best out there but it comes with the understanding that they're a smaller operation and can sometimes be difficult to get on the phone.

When I first got my QTP cut out I never thought to do that, I either went fully open or fully closed but more recently I've been opening it only partially and it's a great sound! 
The best part is that after 6+ years my QTP cut out still performs flawlessly.

OP, go with the DMH and dont look back. I have used the others, and though they work fine, the DMH is fast!! It opens from completely closed to completely open in 2 seconds. If you dont care about the time, then any of them will work. But DMH is my favorite and its well made too
