QTP dual electric exhaust cutout install...
This is my 3" QTP electric cutout install -
I installed the switch in the center console, replacing the accesorry plug with a 1 1/8" Metal Hole Plug (#139415) from Lowes. Drilled hole for the switch, scuffed, and painted flat black...
The 3" exhaust system was installed and polished by
A great mod!!

That looks awesome 
. It's a shame it's mostly hidden under the car. I installed my QTPs in the X pipe. I installed the switch where the ashtray used to be under the flip up cover. It really roars at full throttle

Cool set up, mine are right behing the axle on the cat backs with small turn downs pointing down.
I had my switch in the same location as yours also.
But I receintly moved it to next to the ashtray where the lighter was because it was more convienent for me to use the power souce in the glove box than next to the ashtray to charge my phone while driving (phone can't fly around in the glove box like it does in the "cup holder"). I don't have any pictures of it there yet though.
You have to love the look on people's faces when you rev it, open it up and rev it again, then close it and rev it.
On most people you can see the wheels turning in there head as they try to figure it out! I love em.

Terrific looking setup, BIG props go out to Stainless Works for a fantastic shine!!!
Could we get a sound clip? Ya know, some corked/uncorked at idle & maybe revving? I'm sure we'd all love to hear that beast.
Great pix by the way.

I really like the location of the QTP. I've been monitoring threads on this topic and wasn't thrilled with installs that point the exhaust downward under the car. I figured that'll just blow up a lot of extra dust and crap so seeing your install makes me consider doing this mod even more!
How did you route the wiring?
Looks great!
