yeah i have mine right under my seat on the i pipe and it's a qtp. The sound is awesome with it open and quite and mellow with it closed. Most people are surprised with how good it sounds, and it's real loud too . Also i put my switch for the cutout in my ashtray, it looks real stealthy and cool; and i personally believe it's one of the easier places to wire the switch.

oh and question: today i went to this guys shop whose been workin on the smallblocks for years and he swears that i'm gonna burn a valve with a cutout. I have stock everything with a cutout on the i-pipe is this true? i find it hard to believe. Not tryin to threadjack but i thought you'd find this a useful question

I've ran a few of them, on a few cars with no problems, and quite a few guys here have been running them like this for years, with no issues of burning out a valve. I wouldn't worry about it. Best place to put it is in the Y.

Burning valves is something you did in older V8s when you ran them without headers.
Something about cold air hitting the valves from the exhaust port. I.e, not a problem as long as you've got headers.
