QTP Cutout Switch Install
I was searching online to see if someone installed the switch where I wanted it and to see how they did it. I could not find any one who has done it and posted it so here it is step by step for the most part. If you have any questions for things I left out let me know.
I wired it up threw the center of the car on top of the metal sheet and up threw the boot of the shifter.
I wanted to install it threw the first screw hole since I felt 1 screw should be more then enough to hold the center peice in place.
I missed a picture but I drilled a hole threw the center till the switch could just fit threw so it looked like this!
I then needed to make space for back end of the switch for when I was to reinstall the center console peice.
So now that I have space, I need to add some wire to the + and - wire.
I first install the ground wire! Simple enough
I then install the power to the heated seat fues.. Not the best job but it works for the mean time.
It was kinda a pain in the *** to get all the wires cramed under and in the side of the center console but it worked well I think. Here are the final pictures of the install!
The switch works great and feels soild!
If I missed anything that you would like to know just ask away.
The QTP Cutouts sound AWESOME and so far work really well. I will see about getting the pictures of the cutout install.

Nice install! I just attached the rocker switch they come with to the screw on the bottom of the dash under where the start button is. Not a slick as your install. I also used the seat heater.
Like you I love my cutouts with stock mufflers.

I found a remote control relay to replace the switch, which I plan to install and test in the next couple of weeks.
I will be able to control the cut-outs with a key fob type remote and eliminate the manual switch. Cool!
I thought I was going to have to use a regular remote control relay to drive two switching relays, but I located a polarity reversing relay which should do the trick all in one package.
