Works perfectly - I highly suggest DMH.
I am really trying to decide between TSP Duals or the Magnaflow catback, with the QTP stainless cutout, with the DMH electric butterfly. Your setup really has me leaning toward the Magnaflow? Why did you get the flowtech cutout since it isnt stainless?

Yea, I have to agree, I had a Magnaflow catback on before I went true dual and I loved it. I just wanted it to be louder, but I still used Magnaflow bullets, because I like the way Magnaflow sounds...

Everyone has the standard magnaflow system, but not many seem to run the quad tip kit that they offer for our cars. im very curious to see how it sounds.
