Questions about exhaust cut-outs - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

NJ20102SS · 06-06-2015, 09:39 AM

I'm havng headers, high flow cats and an axle back exhaust installed. The mid section will remain unchanged. I assume theres room there to install cut-outs? Does anyone know for sure?

Also, any recommendations on a specific brand of cut-outs? And, I'm wondering where others installed the button to operate them? I'd probably like it somewhat hidden, but don't want it inside the console. I know someone who did that on a GTO and didn't like it later.

Thanks!

Quick time performance oval cut outs...switch installed under the dash

DMH cutouts on my SS. The switch is on the seat. You probably wouldn't even notice it if I didn't point it out.

+1 on the QTP oval cutouts.
they are welded in just after the Cats on mine, and switch is hidden under dash as well

Are there any cutouts that are bolt on that go in after the headers or hi flows?

Just looked them up on the NOWEEDS website.....wow, they're expensive. $950 !

Squishy · 06-07-2015, 08:31 AM

yup they are.

Thanks for the responses. I ordered the QTP ovals tonight. Can't wait....dropping the car off at East Coast Supercharging on the 22nd to get a cam, headers, exhaust, cutouts and dyno tune.

Has anyone tried the wireless remotes to open/close their QTP cutouts? I received the cutouts today with the standard hard wired switch.....and I'm not real impressed with that switch. Its a really hard "toggle"....almost feels like I'm gonna break it when using it. It's also big and would definitely need to be hidden.

I have the wireless cutouts and somehow they didn't want to open after 2 months being install, they come with 3 month warranty and I sent them back to get repair but I really loved them... hope they can fix the problom..

NJ20102SS · 06-10-2015, 06:37 PM

What did you have to send back? Just the remotes or the valve actuators?

Dmndjoel · 06-11-2015, 03:22 AM

Just the cutouts I left all the wiring beacuse i tried them with the original switch and wireless switch and notghing

Do cutouts rattle everything when their open on the inside? When I ran open headers (with high flow cats attached) everything on the inside rattled and vibrated.
