Default Electric cutouts?
Will the catback exhaust section need removing to install the cutouts. Also, any problems anyone having with the brand you have?

Default electric cutouts
Mine were installed on x pipe just after(looking towards engine)exhaust.QTP was brand and they work great. Switch was installed in cigaret lighter hole. The real test will be how they hold up over time(leaks, motor failures, etc.)

I also had the QTP installed about 2 weeks ago on the X pipe with the switch installed under where the ashtray used to be. So far, so good.

Here's a web page showing my install. Part of it I did and part of it was done at an exhaust shop. The shop tech installed the cutouts without pilling anything off the car. They charged me $120 for their part. I started with McCords but finally switched to QTPs due to some electrical issues.
