Default Cutout installed today.....HOLY ****!!!!!!!!

Just had my QTEC cutout put on today and all I can say is DAMN!!! It now sounds like it should, very mean. I didn't hook up the wiring for the plate yet, maybe this weekend. At idle it isn't that obnoxious, but get on it and heads turn. I love the sound, haven't had it on the highway yet, and can't really speak for gains, but throttle response does seem to be much better however.If you're thinking about doing this mod, DO IT!! I'll post again after I hook up the QTEC plate and report how that goes.
Later, Rain

That's definitely in the future list of mods, where's the best place to get Hookers from? Are the Jet Hots the same as the Hookers?

Yes, but they are the same when they are coated. Thunder Racing is the place to go --->

I too have a cutout and boy oh boy....Heads definately whip around when I'm cruisin, I have even had a couple people ask me if I had a big block under the hood. Only complaint is that it does rattle the hell out of the inside of the car, but for $145 it was well worth it!

I just got a Flowtech Race Ready and noticed how crudely the cutout is actually cut out. It looks like a grizzly bear ripped a gash in the main pipe with his claw and some guy came later and welded the bypass pipe on.
Talk about creating turbulence in the flow...
