Electric cutout with Borla Adj. I'm getting an adj. borla catback. It doesn't have any of the plates with it and being a h/c car with no cats I thought it might be to much. Anyone running a cutout instead of a plate? Any pics and how do you like it? Also what brand of cutout? Thanks

I have a QTEC for about 3-4 years now, works great. I don't have any pics, you're not going to see it on the car unless you crawl under it.
Peace,
Craig.

My best bud has it with a 420 hp cam only Camaro with no extra ground effects, you can see it from the back when your driving it. its a bit loud. He used to love it that way, even though he is in a position not to be hassled by cops, he is getting a bit tired so he just has it closed and opens it when he races.
Whats nice is since its electric, he just doest it from the driver seat.
I had one on my Camaro but it was in a regular cut out and it was located before the axle hump and it was DEFINITLY loud when open.

I have been running a QTP cutout instead of plates for about 2 years or so. Works fantastic. Like Craig says, you wont see it unless you crawl under the car.
I ran the wiring under the carpet, into the center console, and mounted the switch in the ashtray. Pretty clean install and straight forward.

Well sounds like everyone likes it so far. Not to **** anyone off or anything but I was told the qtp ecutouts were junk. I was told that I could go with one of them but would probably have to change fairly soon. I was recomended dmh and they have a 4 year warranty. Have you guys had any problems with yours. There pretty pricey and i'd be pissed if it went out a month later. Have you guys heard anything good or bad about them. Any pros or cons of either brand. Thanks

QTP is NOT junk by anymeans, whoever told you that is wrong and/or biased.
Like I said already before here in this thread and I'll say it again, mine works great and has lasted 3-4 years or so. And all of the other replies here say their QTP QTEC has been great to them as well.
I don't have any experience with DMH so I can't say anything bad or good about them. There is/was another brand, McCord. Their 1st gen models sucked ***** and had plastic gears that would break often. They fixed that issue on the 2nd gen models but I don't even know if they're still around anymore.
Peace,
Craig.

I wasn't trying to offend anyone I was just relaying what was said to me. Thanks for the replys. I looked on ls1sounds but most of the borla catback clips had poor sound quality and were distorted. Do any of you guys have sound clips of your car with the cutout in place.

Talk to Barry at QTP, or really anybody, they are badass to deal with.
Peace,
Craig.
BTW - Come to think of this, but I don't think any other brand makes a model like QTEC to work INSIDE the Borla.

I looked on their web site but could not find what the warranty is, I never had to worry about it! lol
