Default Quick time controller

Just purchased some quick time cut outs for my vette and the controller they use now is a toggle switch. Any body have the discontinued digital controller for sale and why was it discontinued anyway.

I've been using their double throw toggle switch for 8 years now with no problems...it's very reliable, any reason you don't want to use it?

I just count to 8 when opening them to know they are fully open...and of course, you know when they are closed.

That said, they have excellent customer service in my experience, their number is (973) 513-9955. Give them a call.

Pure guess, but I'd guess either low sales due to increased cost, or reliability. If you call, I'm sure Barry the owner will tell you. He's a nice gent.

I hope you love your QTP's as much as me. Probably my favorite mod. Be sure and direct the exhaust toward the ground away from the leaf spring.

This was his first C6 and he found a great place to put them and made the custom mandrel bent Y-pipes to maximize flow from the cutouts. We found no way to put them right after the collectors but they fit well by the trans. I have the DTE brace too but it wasn't in the way.

Installed the wiring myself along the drivers side rocker panel, behind seat then out the wheel well under the carpet. Removed the rear inner fender and drilled a small hole in the wheel well then ran the wire down to the cutouts. Hardest part is finding a hot wire when the ignition is on on these C6's. I ended up tapping the seat heater fuse as others here have done.

They are loud and DEEP when open at idle. I've actually heard louder exhaust though, I was kind of surprised they are not louder. I think it is because of the turn downs and the fact that I have cats and the pipes are pretty long before the cutouts. On the track they have a nice race car sound - I'd say like Borla Stingers plus 25%. When you open them at a stoplight you will turn heads, that's for sure.

Overall happy with the mod, it gives me quiet during my morning drive but loud when I'm at the track which is what I wanted.

Here is a video of idle with cutouts open and closed. The gain on the mike makes the closed sound much louder than it is, it's really quiet with factory mufflers even with my cam.



Here are some pics:

There is a screw on the bottom of the dash under the power button. I attached the toggle holder there. It's pretty much out of sight and it's never interfered with my driving. And I didn't have to drill any extra holes.

Whoa....I just learned they upgraded to wireless!

That must be why they got rid of the electronic, they upgraded to a key fob operation!

Now that's cool and I think I'm gonna have to spring for it....

Hey joe, just wondering if you welded the floating flanges on the turndowns or if I can just bolt them. Thanks

My turndowns are welded to the flange and the flange is bolted to the cutout.
