Somebody edumacate me here, but how is a cutout which is placed on I-pipe and possibly leaks a little going to cause you to fail emissions testing?

Also, if somebody is afraid of that, the electric cutout can quite easily be removed and replaced with the regular cutout cap and gasket so it doesn't leak.

The included rocker switch pretty much sucks, IMO. It just doesn't work well with my fat fingers, I guess...

I wish I would've ordered the toggle switch they offer for 10 bucks more, but didn't think I'd need it when I placed the order...

I've had the QTP in my Borla on my T/A for about 2 years now and works great!

Peace,
Craig.

I found it.

Use it with your stainless QTP cutout. That's what I'm going to do eventually.
