Default C6 Cutouts DMH or QTP

Is anyone running the DMH or Quick Time Performance (QTP) on their C6. Have a stock 2005 C6 and would like to install cutouts but not sure which is more reliable.

They both run around $400 so price doesn't seem to make a difference.

Any comments would be appreciated

Aww hell just throw the cutouts in and forget about the QTPs. I have a stock exhaust w/ 2 cutouts before the exhaust loops over the rear end with no caps whatsoever.

I run them wide open all the time. Everyone i come across just loves the way my car sounds. I get a lot of compliments on it.

Of course this is only temporary until i get my LTs and X pipe on there.

I have the new low profile DMH Cutouts. The quality is next to none!! From the craftsmanship of the cut out itself all the way down to the tasteful button. They are going on Friday, so I will let you know how it goes

I've had a QTP electronic cut out on my Z28 for almost 4 years now, it has been flawlessly reliable/dependable and LOTS OF fun.
From my experimentation with it, it should be worth roughly a full tenth+ reduction in 1/4 mile times as well.

What ever happened to the QTP catback prototype? Did the NPP stop development?

Here's my thread with pics and dyno sheets. With my cam the cutouts added some hp across the board.

QTP has been great to deal with on these cutouts too. Great customer support.

If all goes well it will be in production by carlisle to show off. I hope to have them shipping a little bit after that. Working on a G8 Screamer system now

Ballpark on the price? Hopefully, less than the NPP.

I see this is listed on your website as coming soon. I'm wondering if this will ever happen due to the age of this thread...

I've seen it done with manifolds and no cats, in the space where the cats go, on a car without headers. With headers there is no way to do it up front.
