Im putting on my 3'' jegs and putting a QTP electric door on top of it...It seems to be constructed very nicely...however if you install it on your Y pipe I heard its extremely raspy...but VERY friggin loud! (So I'm doing that )

I bought a pair of McCord Power plates, their construction is very similar to the QTP, but they have a light that tells you if they are closed or open, pretty neat. Plus they are WAY cheaper. other than that I heard that DHM are better than either of those. Dont know for sure, but thats what I hear

If I were to get one, it would be McCord Power plates. But I think it's annoying to have basically open headers. Very deep with no tone.

Save money, buy a better muffler, get the power all the time without having to flip a switch.

Agreed, I had one on my car for three years and I got tired of it after 1 year. I gave mine away and got a nice catback.

Nice, that was quick. Did you do an electric or manual.. what brand.

It's funny how when your car is loud, you get all the attention. I can rape most of the crapboxes out here but no one really noticed my car because of the quiet hooker cat back. Now with the loudmouth on it, people are like "damn, that sounds like a racecar" lol.
