I will install it later this week and i will let all u know how it is...i have a y pipe, straight pipe, no resonater, stock muffler. i had a straight flow muffler but it was 2 loud and kept getting pulled over. i will install the cut out right after my straight pipe...i will choose when i want the exhaust to come straight out the cutout or stock muffler..here is a link

Jesus that sounds like the worst waste of money ever...

 

i second that. but whatever tickles your pickles

 

I aggree. The purpose of this item is to be loud when needed to "intimidate racers"? I dont really see a performance gain. Just a lot of noise.

 

unless...you are boosted or spraying nitrous. =)

 

i just had it installed, when it is open, it sounds like a motorcycle, but closed u cant tell. i think it helps a little up top since it is only going through half of the exhaust system, but kinda unnoticeable, toooop loud, wish i never spent my $$ cause i am not even boosted

 

I have a QTEC cutout on my se-r. I don't open it unless I'm at the track or if I just want to hear how the exhaust sounds with the cams at idle. At the track I did back to back runs and the runs with the cutout open I had higher trapspeeds than with it closed. Then again my car has CAI, header, B pipe + cutout, JWT S3 cams + ECU, UR pullies, so your results may vary.

 

I have the qtec electric cutout and it dumps into a full 3" sidepipe. On the dyno there was a 15 hp difference with the cutout fully opened. also, when i go to a cruise in I open the cutout just enough for a nice powerful rumble!! This always gets the attention of the muscle car mavens.

 

Before, I was thinking of installing one inline with my nitrous switch so each time I pressed the button to spray, the QTEC would also open for more power. hehe

Anyways, all of you guys with the QTEC, exactly where along the exhaust system are your's installed?

 

i have 2 admit that, a 5.0 mustang was looking at my car like WTF???i think it helps mainly up top, i have mine installed right after my straight pipe, i have a y pipe also...can we also say that less back pressure 4 our 4th gens = more HP?

 

Look at this rediculous picture

 

it may look rediculous, but it has meaning behind it, i kept getting pulled over with my straight muffler, since i put stock muffler back on, now i can switch it back and forth, dont need 2 spend $250++ on a complete CATBACK...
