Default Threw in my QTP cutouts today.

Bought the QTP's through Thunder Racing and had Mark at Walker Muffler weld in the cutouts today (they do exhaust work for most of the local performance shops). In the process we found more leaky/broken welds from the last shop. For the longest time I could not figure out what sounded so strange about my exhaust and that was it. It sounds much cleaner now both with the cutout open and closed.

This picture was before I finished running the wires. I'll get some video sooner or later.

with the longtubes, no cats and big cam, the cutouts bring a whole other level of awesomeness. You dont gain much with this setup, but it is a LOT of fun.

I havent done any logging yet, but I did turn OL and CL back on last week since the car is pretty dialed in, so it will run commanded regardless. I'll go back to the track and see if the cutouts open make a difference and see if there is room to play with the tune at all.
