Default QTP or no

should i go with the qtp y with the qtec cut outs built in for over $600 or go with texas speed off road y and buy an electric cut out and have it welded on?

me neither,especially since the headers angle down alittle and the qtp hangs down pretty low no matter how much adjusting i done.i will probably have it cut and rewelded for alittle better clearance.

Now that the irritation of getting it tucked up tight is over, I'm glad I have the qtp y.

A single cutout in the intermediate pipe will be just fine. But if you want the sound of open headers, getting the qtp y pipe might come out cheaper. You will have to find someone that can make the cutouts on the tsp y pipe.

Love the headers but the Y hangs so damn low you scrape if you drive under an ant..

I vote for the single QTP in the I. For extra bonus points get a vert top switch and panel for a stock concealed look.

if you are lowerd at all then dont go with their y-pipe. I literally had an inch of clearance or less. It was terrible. If you arent lowered then its not THAT bad but id recommend either a custom y-pipe setup with cutouts or tru dual setup and leave it at that.
