Default QTP cut-out

My cousin gave me a QTP cut-out that he never used and now he's selling his so he had no plans on putting it on. Well my delimma is should I use it,where to mount it,is it the right one, and should I sell it and get a DMH? I know my car is loud already but I will probably used it for racing and some ***** and giggles. Pics:

if its the 3" then thats the right one.

i had a qtp cutout on my ws6 till the motor went out on it about 2 weeks ago so I just went ahead and ordered me a dmh one and i also like the dmh switch better aswell.

try it and see how u like it. as for mounting it do it on the I-pipe right behind the passenger seat

My QTP lasted about a year, had several problems.

I'm going DMH now, longer lasting, better warranty, easier wiring.

You would need a standard cutout with our valve. Our stainless one or a flowtech/summit one. It would go on the intermediate pipe right underneath the passenger seat.

To all you haters, our units are very strong unlike what you keep on stating. We have sold over 50,000 units. I do not think all our competition has sold 1/10 of our amount combined. Our customers like GM, the late Boyd Coddington, Stacey David, Summit Racing and many others are very happy with our products.

When there is problem we try to help our customers. We are at our warehouse from 9-5pm monday to friday. If you have any questions feel free to call us.

Just remember we have been here on LS1Tech since the beginning and supporting the site unlike others.
