qtp cutouts are ok. the best e cutout is DMH. Mine worked flawlessly and everyone I know that has DMH loves theirs. A lot of people around me that had QTP had issues with theirs leaking.

Mine leaked and eventually broke after about a year or so. Bought a new motor from them and it has not given me any troubles. I think they made some changes internally that fixed whatever the problems were with them wearing out so quickly.

Never seen a cut out like that. Looks like the exhaust will have a harder time flowing out that 90 degree angle compared to one with a 45 degree angle.

i completely agree with you about convenience taking fun out of things.... but not in this case. convenience of opening your exhaust when a ricer revs at you is too much fun.

Now that I can agree with...I cant stand them damn FART CANS. I love drowning them out everytime they decide to rev on me. And I just have a 3" Hooker Catback and no cat, (BTW it sounds really good though.)

I would have went with a y instead of a t but its still way better then nothing.

How do you like your new tq arm set up. I did a few things to my car relos 9 inch tq arm set up like yours etc went from going sideways everytime I stepped on it on the street to being difficult to spin the tires over now. Onyly bad thing was I had a clearance issue between the link that holds the tq arm to the crossmember and the ds loop. Nothing a bit of grinding didnt fix but I would have thought it would have cleared. That and my alum ds I got from epp barely clears the ds loop

It's got an angle to it..kinda hard to see in that pic for some reason..

I had some minor clearance issues with the T/A..it went in though..
Other than the clunking it makes goin down the Street, I'm liking it.
