Default cutout for borla

Can I use any 3" E cutout or does it have to be a special one?

DMH is reportedly the better choice, and what I went with.

Where are you mounting it? If it's going somewhere on the I-pipe (under rear passenger seat) than it'll be 3". I have a Borla cat-back and put a 3" QTP E-cut out on the I-pipe underneath RR seat.

Guessing you mean where the adjuster plates go, right? As far as I know anything will work. I have the normal QTP on mine and it fit just fine. I love that I can have that straight piped sound out the back with the major drone inside.

Our part number for the Borla is QTEC30B. The borla has a different pattern than a standard 3 bolt header flange.

Should work, I have the QTP with the normal pattern and it fit fine. Not that the one made for Borla won't work better, but you should be fine with the one you ordered.
