Default electric borla?

Has anybody put an electric cutout valve where the blockoff plate goes? I just got a borla catback and I though it was a cool idea.

Yesh. The McCord has a specific application for that I think. Check out their site, then buy one thru BYUNSpeed, they sell them cheaper and with free shipping.

You work for Ceramic Exhaust? I didn't know you became a sponsor.

I have the mccord made for the borla, no complaints here. Great to have the electric cutout with the borla. Highly recommend one...

Thanks yes I do work for them. We do many other things, but but the ceramic coating was the only thing we could really sponsor for. We sell a lot of salvage f-body parts on ebay also.

Does the Borla cutout make the right tip stick out further?

You can adjust the tip in a bit, if necessary.

I love my QTEC and it has come in quite handy. Knock on wood, but, I haven' t had any problems with it so far. I just make sure I don' t try to hold the switch open or closed long and burn out the motor.

IMHO, I highly recommend it.

QTP cutouts are legit on the borla.

You will get flow out of the driver' s side regardless, but most of the sound will come out of the passenger' s side. Well, I should say that the noise coming out of the passenger' s side is louder than that of the driver' s side, so you can' t really hear it. There is not really a way to tell, unless you have a really trained ear to hear what to look for. Even then, you would need another car with a Borla to compare to.

Anyways, the only real way to tell is at least loosen the three bolts enough to see the plate that' s there. Or you can remove two bolts and let the plate swing down.
