Which QTP Cutout Kit?
I'm about to pull the trigger on a QTP wireless cutout kit, but I'm not sure on if I should get the standard "Y" pipe style, or they also offer a "low profile" option. Can anybody on here shed some light here for me?

cut a hole in the trunk floor and ran the wire up over the hump behind the seats. Wired to the cigarette lighter in the center console and just tucked in behind the drivers seat. I have the wireless option.

I will say this... make sure you have someone who understands how to do the install correctly ESPECIALLY if it's they y-pipe kit into the middle. The welding is tough and there is something with how you set things up to make sure the seals don't get ruined on the butterfly valves. Good luck and please do post videos, I'll be waiting!

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.
I love my cutouts, 8 years old and still going strong. The new wireless option is great. And QTP has great support.
Here's a vid.

So far, the vendor that I ordered the cutouts from seems to be in no rush to get them to me. I ordered the cam kit from another vendor, and I got a box Wednesday with springs, balancer, pushrods, seals, keepers, seats, and NO CAM. So the cam that was supposed to be delivered Wednesday is supposed to be overnighted for today (partly at my expense). If that comes, I'll be doing the install this weekend. I was hoping to get a video on the stock cam with the cutouts open, but it doesn't look like thats going to happen. Anyway, I'll be keeping the thread updated!
