Electric Cutouts anyone?
 

I sold my GtHaus exhaust a few months ago and I honestly miss how loud and obnoxious it was :stirthepot: But I don't want to drop that much money on an exhaust again so I was going to maybe try a qtp electric cutout. Does anyone have one of these? I just want to get an idea of what it sounds like. I searched already and couldn't find anything. I know it's been asked before but I figured maybe somebody has one now

Does anyone have the qtp cutout??? If not i wanna be the first :)

If I'm understanding correctly, this is to adjust the openness of your exhaust on the fly... If so, FlawlessZ has a manual version

Yes that's correct. And ok do u know how it sounds??

I might be local to him... And I can tell you it sounds amazing, lol... But I haven't heard it myself


I will hear it on Saturday though

Oh good!!! :D that'd be awesome if u could take a quick vid or something too :)

I'll ask him to post a video, I know I've seen one

Ok awesome!

Buddy of mine had it on his B6 A4. Loud as fvck when open of course. He's dropped about 2.5-3" so he ended up clipping some wires on some entrance hill andddd it wouldn't close so I guess if you're doing it make sure you install it to where theres nothing hanging down lower than it's supposed too.

Alright will do. And is it smart to have a small pipe attatched that points down at the ground? Or does it not matter?

Here is a clip my friend put up when I first installed it.

Honestly do a manual one like mine I wouldn't trust a remote when I need to close it up when im near a piglet if you know what I mean.

I think as long as its aimed away for anything that could be burned you'll be fine. Doesn't necessarily have to be aimed at the ground hit that'd be a good idea.

I think this is the one my buddy just maybe a different flange or something but it already has a pipe attached to it as well. You would just bolt on your exhaust (that's not cutout) to where the pipe is and once the cutout is closed it will have the exhaust sound and if you open that then it will be the loud cutout exhaust sound if I'm not mistaken.

sounds amazing!!! And yeah lol well i already ordered the electric one. Oh well...ill get pulled over and be stabbing the close button over and over while the cops getting out of his car Haha with my luck xD

Mine ia an Exhaust.Control.Valve.

I actually lose HP in general but gain a tiny bit of low end torque when I close the valve, since car gets very little back pressure.

NOT A CUTOUT (this is only for Forced Induction cars/for gains)

Well i just wanted it for sound, not really for hp :)

Done deal!


Thanks Flawless!

I've heard that the motors on these are very prone to failure, and you may run into a slight leak when it's closed. I'm sure it sounds amazing, though.

Thanks guys!! :tup:

I havnt seen any bad reports. I know there's probly a small leak, but is the motor thing true? Cuz they say they're weather proof but hmmmmm

A lot of guys used these in the Subaru world, and there were always a few threads about the motor failing. I can't speak to the quality and weatherproofing of the install, though.

Alright...well i guess I'll be the guinea pig for the 370z :happydance:

Yea that's why I mentioned that the manual ones are a whole lot more reliable/cheaper too but it dose require wiring the push /pull switch to the cabin which was the harder part of the install.

So maybe the electric will be easier to install?

Easier to install yes, easier to break, yes.

Ok we'll see i guess. Ill make sure to post my results and see how long it lasts :)

Yeah hope it works out well for you. :happydance:

coolest mod when someone shows off to you and you open it up and :****: on them

UPDATE!!!
QTP cutouts will NOT fit on the 370 unless u wanna hack away your car :)

I havnt heard of QTP motor failures really at all and the muscle car guys use this quite a bit.

myself will be getting a set of their electric valve with remote.

No room on my 370. I have stock exhaust though so idk if that makes a difference.

i got QTP on my camaro.

NOT A Z but you get the idea! its very popular among the camaro guys.
