Exhaust cutouts or exhaust diverters feedback - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

alfie43 · 06-30-2010, 08:18 PM

I am looking for feed back from those of you that have electric cutouts or diverters on your exhaust system. I guess there are two makes to choose from; No-Weeds and Quick Time Performance.

Please answer the following:

1. Which brand do you have?
2. Do you have headers on your car"
3. Any exhaust leakage (even the slightest) in the closed position?
4. Any quality issues?
5. Any operational issues?

I am not looking for power gains, but only the ability to control exhaust system sound quality and exhaust system sound volume.

I wish my car sounded this way.

1. Which brand do you have? QTP
2. Do you have headers on your car" Not yet, but very soon I will
3. Any exhaust leakage (even the slightest) in the closed position? I have absolutly NO leak at all, just doent open/close when there is load on the engine, idle only!
4. Any quality issues? I think QTP's quality was great, I didnt have any problems with install of usage.
5. Any operational issues? Not issue for me, QTP gives you the choice of having the digital cutout controller, really neat if you look into it.

Hope that helped!

I'm wondering how much louder Cutouts would be over a muffler delete!

philthy · 07-01-2010, 10:28 AM

QTP's on my Chevelle for three years now. No leaks, installation was easy, absolutely no quality or operation issues. I have headers and 3" exhaust. You are welcome to come by and check them out, since you are not too far from me. I will be at the Motor City Street Rodders show at Brandenburg Park on the 11th, or stop by the house this weekend or after work.

My original question was never about which was louder. Its about the abilty to turn on - turn off.

I was hoping to see you at CJ Barrymore's tonight (thurs). Do you go to their cruise? Not sure if I'll make it to Brandenburg Park...will try. I heard its a great venue. Sooner or later we'll cross paths.

I have QTP for about 7 months now, no leakage, sounds GREAT, and literally 1/3 the cost of Noweeds, although Noweeds does make a great product.

alfie43 · 07-02-2010, 09:29 AM

Thanks to all that responded. I got the info I needed and it looks like QTP is on my shopping list. Now I just need to find a good welder/installer in my area.

1. Which brand do you have? Noweeds
2. Do you have headers on your car? No
3. Any exhaust leakage (even the slightest) in the closed position? None
4. Any quality issues? None awesome product
5. Any operational issues? None, installed in about 2 hours sounds amazing. Worth the 900 bucks and you can always take them off if need be.

robnapier · 07-05-2010, 12:36 AM

1. Which brand do you have? Noweeds
2. Do you have headers on your car? No, not yet (but soon)
3. Any exhaust leakage (even the slightest) in the closed position? Nope
4. Any quality issues? I have the system for the automatic and the clamps are not sufficient to keep the exhaust up high enough to not rest on the crossmember towards the rear of the car. Rattles over serious bumps. once the headers are in I will probably have it welded in place to keep it in position.
5. Any operational issues? No. Sounds pretty bad-ass.

LittleMT · 07-05-2010, 01:37 AM

how bad is vibration in the car with the cut outs open?

Captain McFunk · 07-05-2010, 08:20 PM

I have qtp, no problems at all. My exhaust heat shield rattled some, I bent it slightly, not a sound yet.
