I am liking this mod more each day. Having the choice of LOUD or quiet is very handy.

I found no leaks at all with them so far. If a leaks does come-about, qtp tells you how to correct it.
I was at the corvette challenge this pasgt saturday. Spending all night at the track, it was a nice drive home when I closed the valves and cruise home listening to the radio quietly.
I would recommend this mod.

Nice pictures. Make a video up and we can put it up on website. Nice set up BTW.

There is a fair amount of room where we put mine on the C6, even with the DTE brace. No rattles at all. I've got more pictures if you would like them, just let me know.
Feel free to use Steve's (wanttospeed) Video! Shows a nice drive on US-1 in the Florida sunshine, cutouts open and closed.

I don't think so. Steve was running 11.9's with just breathless headers, intake and drag radials in the Florida heat. That's pretty stout performance so I don't think the h-pipe and hollowed cats makes any difference. He's a good driver so of course that helps but his car is stout even with the factory h-pipe.

wow thats reaally nice!!! something I wanted to do on my Z, im still hesitated between getting BB fusion's the ones that come with valves, or doing a set-up like yours.
I do want to know where could I find valves like the ones your using, the only thing i found on the net was apexi >.<

After a couple of months with this mod I love it more every day. Having the choice of loud or quiet is just great. I highly recommend it.
Best stress therapy out there. Open these up and hit a freeway on ramp and go through the gears. If you're not smiling when you are done you must be dead. It is sweet music.

I said a foul word really loud when I read that....why??....I thought he meant that it was 330 and 70 labor totalling 400. Wow, 200 an hour?? Did he at least kiss you before that insertion?

You think there's room to fit them on an A6?

I'm surprised more people don't have these installed.
I was going to add QTP "cutouts" with my TT install so not to limit exhaust flow to 2.5" as with all other exhaust systems. Eventually I shelled out the $1800+ for the 3" APS system.
Glad to hear you are happy with them!

Even at that price you can spend $700 on your stock exhaust and have a great sounding system, loud or quiet, your choice. Much cheaper than Corsa or Borlas and they don't give a choice in sound.

I would think so. There is actually a fair amount of room up there. You'd need a good experienced installer though as those little pipes he made took him some time so that they fit up there with no rattles. It wasn't cheap as noted above but worth it to me.
