Default Is this a good price??

I have pretty much decided to go w/ a QTP electric cut out and am getting new rears tires 315/35/17 BFG KD's, One of my friends refered me to a performance shop he goes to locally, im getting the cut out from him new, plus install welding, tires mounted etc etc for 900-940, my question is this a good price??

That seems like alot if its just rear tires. I mean even if the tires were 275 each + 25 mount/balance, thats 600. I don't know how much for elec cut out, but it shouldn't be much to put in.

Default I think the price is very god!

QTP Single Cutout = $200
QTP Dual Cutouts = $350
BFD KD 315/35-17 = $550
Mount/Balance = $40

That dosen't leave much for labor. I think it's a good.

I don't like your choice in electric cutout dude. Now the tire are the same as
I run on mine but let me make you think about something.

QTP electric cutout(which have a nasty reputation for burning up) cost under $200 and you have a 1 Year Warranty.

DMH electric cutout cost under $200 also but you have a 4 year warranty.

Now which one is your best investment?

If you want too get down on your hands and knees to put the 3 little wing nuts on a hot exaust you can probally get by with a $30.00 JEGs special. However if you want to push a button on the dash to open and close your exaust its gonna cost you.
