what im seeing here is that you guys have a single cutout...QTP sells a y-pipe with duel cutouts on it, so whats up with that, also how does the system sound wide open like that, someone told me cutouts sound like crap without cats.

last question...do yall experience any clearance issues with these electonic cutouts.my car is lowered so ive got a concern

No, the clearance is good. My car is an inch lowered. Here's a pic from underneath. I also have had many complements on how mean my car sound with it open. Trust me, you'll like it. You'll have the best of both worlds. Quiet rumble and loud and mean at the flick of a switch....

I already have a flowmaster american thunder catback on my car but if i put a cutout after the cat before the muffler will it make a noticible sound change? Also what are the estimated prices to have someone cut your pipe and weld the cutout on?
