Unless you have a 10 second car, practice on flipping the QTec switch after your 60'...
Cutouts are an excellent way of freeing up your exhaust.
They do however, sound horrible at part throttle.
But they sound wicked at WOT.

Don't worry about heat. As long sa there's nothing aimed at any fuel lines, all is well.

Qtp I got my cut-out from QTP. Me and my dad both bought our cutout from them. We both leave ours open most of the time. Try QTP though they got to me in like a day. The guys also helped me out quite a bit
I just put in a DMH electic cutout a couple days ago and I LOVE it!!! I love how it's loud at half-full throttle and at idle it's actually pretty quiet. I have magnaflow right now and the cutout is under the passenger rear seat. What's even better is that it only cost $25 to install...can't beat that! I can't wait to get LT's and an ORY to really increase the intimidation factor!
