Noweeds or QTP cutouts......now that's the ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Chad's ZL1 · 11-22-2009, 01:02 AM

Any help on either side would be greatly appreciated. From ease of install to sound, performance and overall sound. I am torn between the two because one is more expensive than the other and I've always went with the more expensive side of things due to "you get what you pay for", but that may not be the case here. Hopefully everyone's experience with the two products will help me in my quest to find the almighty one. I have the 2010 2ss 6speed manual tranny. Thank you in advance.

This is a brand new in the box QTP 3" Electric Exhaust Valve & Stainless Steel Exhaust Cutout.
Q01-QTEC30CPS

Unleash The Power!
No need to uncap your cutout. With the Quick Time Electric Cutout you can have the best of both worlds! Quiet for the street and wide open for the strip.
Go from stealth quiet to wide open power! $204.99
NEW QTP DIGITAL ELECTRIC CUTOUT CONTROLLER #10200 $110

QTP total $314.99

No weeds 2.50" DIAMETER BOLT-IN SYSTEM FOR 2010 CHEVY CAMARO LS3
Price: $950.00

Looks to me that you have already made up your mind, $950 is just outright rediculous!!

Just my observation.

I cant remember what Spike said was the difference..maybe he will
chime in.

jeffny09 · 11-22-2009, 09:44 AM

but doesnt qtp bolt on differently?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 11-22-2009, 10:20 AM

I think both are good and different As one go's on your exhaust by wielding and the other is a fit on, Ass to "you get what you pay for" that is true of the two units,

I like the fact that the one i have gives me the ability to have 2 pre sets and a on demand full open, so i can set it up as i like.

QTP is a wield on while NoWeeds is Bolt on = NoWeed FTW

QTP is said to have no rainbow cover for the controller while Noweeds does = Noweeds FTW

QTP hangs low to the ground while it is just a giant box and can scrape badly while Noweeds is turndown pipes that don't hang as low and depending on the system they kind of go to the side = NoWeeds For the Win.

So you can take Noweeds off and re sale while your exhaust is one big piece with QTP.

Plus im not a noweeds guy or anything but I will buy some and for people that have aftermarket exhaust the cost is $850 which is what im getting.

Don't know if there is a sound difference but if there is QTP has a bigger hole but i don't know if that really makes a difference. Both sound great IMHO

Not to make you mad but on my car it sits fine and i lowered my car all the way down on the coilovers 2 1/2" in the rear and 2" in the front so that is not Right, The QTP Hang inline with your OEM exhaust, I like the QTP ones but its up to you.

So you can take Noweeds off and re sale while your exhaust is one big piece with QTP.

Partly right as you can take off the QTP it comes with metal plate to cover up the the wielded parts and remove the QTP cut outs.

See this pic of one guy that put on side pipes to his QTP.

Thanks guys for the information. I was leaning towards Noweeds cutouts. The price has kept me from jumping in. As all things do, wait until everything settles down and their will be companies with better setups for less money. I like the Noweeds kit because the way it fits. Santa's coming so maybe he be good to me.

Inferno2SSRS · 11-22-2009, 02:53 PM

I just heard the Noweeds yesterday, it is just insane.

I am sure it is insane as its an open exhaust, noweeds has no real effect on the sound. I am still trying to figure out why this cost so much coin.

I can see maybe $150 in actuators, $35 in Pipe, $100 in labor, Total investment roughly $285 and IMHO that is on the high side. The unit sells for over $900. I guess the real reason it sells is that people will buy it. Most vendors are doing there best to cash in on the new car craze and I for one will wait it out.

In my real real word (Harley Davidson) things are pricey, but not to the extent I am seeing in Camaro world.

Just my thoughts, not written to offend anyone or company.

QTP is a weld on, it welds on behind the cats, also has an electric controller you can open it at an exact percentage 1-100% open or closed. If you do not get it you get a toggle you have to hold down, with the controller you just press the button once. (Better for standard user who have to shift right? YA!) And its 365$ for the oval cutouts electric controller is like 110 or 120.

Sounds better than no weeds to, youre pretty dumb to buy a no weeds system for 900$ when QTP is better known people and 365$

Thanks for the clear up on my info.

I was just stating things that I heard from a buddy of mine. and he might have been talking about the other QTP electric cutouts and not the OVAL which is for the Camaro.

nobody is dumb for buying noweeds you still get a great product nonetheless it's not like your not getting anything for the $850-900.
