Need cut-out advice....... I think I'm gonna buy one but I'm not sure how to go about this. Are there any long-term negatives to this?
I have a 2001 mostly stock(wanna keep it that way) but I do have the Blackwing Lid, SLP CAI and GMMG cat-back. I like my SS now. The sound of the GMMG is great. The other day at the movie theatre I heard this Camaro and I'm telling you it was like instant THUNDER! I was asking myself, "what the hell kind of catback does this dude have"? It just dawned on me a few days later it had to have been a cutout. I was like Damn! It was loud sure but.... like thunder. I could not imagine doing a burnout in an LS1 camaro with a cutout!
I would like to know how many SS vet's here have a cutout and do they open it up alot? Is it fun?
1. Is the QTEC the best on the market?
2. Where do you install it? I know it's after the y-pipe and before the muffler so....right smack in the middle, in the I-pipe? But closer to the rear(before axle) or up front, like under the cup holder?
3. How much is install and a muffler shop has to do this..... so you just cut the I-pipe twice and fit the cutout in.... then weld it?
4. Then you run the wire thru the center console and drill into your ashtray and that's it? Run a wire to your battery for power?
What did you guys pay for your QTEC including install at a muffler shop?
Thanks a million!

The collision wrap is great. It works very good and under the bra for that extra peace of mind! RBL is good but Hy-Stick is just as good and cheaper and no writing on it.

Re: Need cut-out advice....... QTP is the best quality out there... great customer service too. Most put it under the rear passanger seat because there is a good amount of space. I stuck my switch in my ashtray... took all of 15 minutes to wire it up. You'll want to keep it open more often then not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Contact vendors on the right side of this website to see if they have this new electric cutout. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
