Cutout Info Needed Tried posting this in the external section, didn't get any replies....Maybe someone can help me here:
I am thinking about a QTP electric cutout. Not for the power aspect, but for the sound. I have Magnaflow CB right now, however it seems to sound better on other cars with a cutout.
I am looking for install info.
Where is it placed? Near the end of the Y-Pipe (near the axel)?
Do ya point it to the left, the right or straight down?
And does a section of the y-pipe have to be cut out, and then the QTP piece welded in?
How hard is it to run the wiring to the inside of the car, where is it best to get to the interior?
Thx for any help.
Oh, and I have a LS1 Edit dyno tune, I assume this addition of the cutout will not effect it?

QTP has a Y pipe that has the cut out built in http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/...ls1headers.php (on the bottom of the bottom of the page) I dont know for sure but I think you can put one on the other side of the Y pipe if you wanted.

Yes at the end of the y-pipe about a foot and a half away from the muffler.

Right

yes the cutout will replace the section cutout
How hard is it to run the wiring to the inside of the car, where is it best to get to the interior?
not to hard and QTP usually has very long wires, easiest place to get to the interior is probably the ashtray area
Thx for any help.

I just cut an "X" in the drain plug under the rear seat to get the wires inside the car - left most the wire under the seat, QTP was really long. After the length was established put silicone caulk on the inside to seal it.
