Pruven Performance / QTP cut out
Hey guys...well most you New England guys know my car. I bought the QTP exhaust cut out a while back and finally got down to Pruven to install it.
This was a super pain in the *** to have Dan weld into the car.
First off we decided to put it in the bottom of my Buschur down pipe.
(NOTE: QTP does make a downpipe with the y fitting welded in, HOWEVER, I am running a built car with a different downpipe and it all had to be done custom)
He had to cut the end of the pipe
Weld the cutout into the pipe
Weld a new wide band bung
Weld the exhuast hanger back on
Weld a flange to mat up with my cat
Weld and fabricate a turndown
and of course the wiring I had to do through the floor board into the cabin.
A pretty good amount of fabrication and measuring needed to be done to get this high enough under the car that it would avoid hitting anything. Also, I had him fab a turndown since I would rather flames hit the pavement than my fuel and alky lines on the 2 step
MY REVIEW: So far so good. My thought is that the cutout leaks a small amount of exhuast air because the car is a little louder at idle and on the highway. We checked for leaks everywhere and there is none. If you put your hand under the turn down for the cutout a little air is coming through. Otherwise this piece is awesome. When its open it is the single loudest thing I have ever heard at wot. You also can hear the turbo spool clearer than I ever thought possible.
