LS4 Front-Drives 2005-2009 - Electric Cut out

Whats the best and where do I get it?

Texas Speed on here had some that looked nice, along with a complete exhaust setup that looks immaculate, That's who ill be buying mine from once I get enough pennies saved up.

Hey mel,

When funds get a little higher, I'm springing for this one, and the electric controller: http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/OVAL/index.php

ive never seen the texas speed ones, but i do like the QTP ones and ive heard alot of good things about them and planned on buying a set for my future lsx car

Guys do you liked the Oval cut out

kinda depends on where you want to put i guess....any idea where your going to put it?

Don't Know DP where do you think

i have mine where the res used to be....i know some have put it down the line a little further so it exits right by the rear wheel....it kinda depends on how much noise you want lol....mine is pretty loud since it is close to the DP with no bends...if you put it down further it wont be as loud.

I want it as close to the down pipe as possible

i dont think the oval one would work if you are going to want it up that close unless you would have it in front of the cat right where the bend is from the DP to the cat (thats if it will work there).....you might have to get the regular cutout but you will lose a little clearance like i did with mine (maybe 2ish inches) putting it behind the cat or you can put it right on the DP in front of the cat and wont have that problem.

I've got this one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BadlanzHPE-SS-Electric-Exhaust-Cutout-Cutouts-2-5-INCH_W0QQitemZ180375540697QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMotor s_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item29ff3853d9) and as you all know, I replaced my cat with it.

185 w/ free shipping vs. 210 + shipping :P

DMH ones are pretty good, QTP ones had a tendency to get stuck & need repair. Not sure if that's still the case.

so far only thing to go wrong with my QTP was a possum hitting the motor....other then that it went through an ohio winter with no problems.

I have a DMH. $200 and its a 4 year warranty. QTP is only 90 days I believe. Ive also heard that QTP can get stuck and not function anymore. There were other threads about cut outs on here and many said to go with DMH over QTP

I have the DMH and the only problem I had was the motor coming loose one time. Just make sure to snug everything up good. I have had no other problems or complaints.

I think that will be the one I get!!

So Mel, you're going with the DMH??

I'm also pretty sure I'll go the DMH route. The 4 year warranty is great (and the price)!

Just curious, but has anyone put the cutout after the resonator? Just wonder how that would effect the sound, and if it would have less of an interior drone and/or tin-ish sound. Thanks!

i originally had it right after the res. before the first bend...i have since removed the res....with the res on there is still a good amount of drone around 2500 rpms..with it off there wasnt a little bit more drone but thats to be expected with a cutout....i think it made it sound a lot better with the res off....here are some videos after i took it off and the DP installed.

I guess i could put it in place of the wastegate in the rear...LOL...it would be like a manual boost controller...LOL...cant do the cut out cause im rear mount....not like i want to...this things is crazy loud anyways...ive heard some mixed opinions on the QTP..but for the most part not too bad...I know a couple of LS1 and 2 guys running around with them....they do pretty well...the hard part is trying not to keep playing with them...they have x amount of opening and closing cycles or hours on them i think....YES...any of them will go out after awhile...so just keep em open or closed...depending ya know..LOL...i would have a hard time doing that...i would want to play with the damned thing!!
