We run them on 2 cars.My kid had to replace a cap gasket on his once in about 7 years.Mine have been on for about 8 years still running the OE gaskets.They seal with no problems.I have mine angled towards the outside of the car.Easy to get to the 3 wing nuts to uncap them.I used anti sieze on the threads so they dont rust on.I can uncap mine in a few minutes.Rocky

I have bought the QTPs...hopefully with any luck I will have them on before Summer. The Manual ones....those are for guys who hit the track and uncork em...guys like me..I wanna be at a bus stop and flip the switch...and if I see a cop in the distance, close em up. I would also like to wake the dead...as well as the neighbors...If you aren't in a rush I can ask my guys in New York if they ship out directly to the UK. I bring in all my stuff through a cargo ship and its usually quite cheaper than sending it by post and there is less of a chance of it getting stopped at customs. Are you in a car club out there? Perhaps someone knows a broker that can take care of all the paperwork for you. The only other option I can help you out with is if you buy em and have them shipped to New York, I can have them come to my place in Greece (Bit of an overshoot from the UK) but then I can send them through the post from here and being that its within the EU, no customs fees. Just an option. Maybe hit up this place....place an order with them and their next shipment from the States could include your cutouts and have them ship it to you since they are way closer than me. http://store.moparshop.de/Good luck.

2.5" QTP's are the way to go. Don't forget to put a short flared end on them. It improves the sound dramatically. I used an oval shaped megaphone end for clearance. It works the same way as the flare on a trumpet or other horn works. It takes the harshness out of it and sweetens it the sound.

Not sure what you mean. They bolt on to a header flange. THese are a different brand.

I just dont get this idea.
Unless... there is a valve right where the pipe splits into full system/cutout (read: to route the FULL exhaust volume to either the cutout OR the mufflers), is the exhaust not just flowing into both pipes even if its uncorked? Whats the point besides just making more noise? On a personal note, I think they sound terrible, unless you wanna sound like a rez-pickup truck. And they have to be hurting power on any GOOD system.
I dread the thought of uncapping these,it's so loud now it is uncomfortable to drive and with the TTI system,no headers and the quietest 3" muffler available,I have to live with it.As you age,quiet is better!!

I don't have a very good system, and uncapping adds 3-4 tenths to my ET at the track, good for when I'm trying for a personal best. I leave it capped up for bracket racing.

My guess is that the valve idea isn't needed because, at full throttle, most of the exhaust is going to take the path of least resistance and flow out of the first big available hole it sees - the cutouts. The sound is exactly the same as open headers on my car, so if the sound of open headers sounds terrible to you, then they sound terrible but I like it. I have a 2.5" mandrel-bent system, I don't know if it's good or not, all I know is my cutouts were an inexpensive and easy mod, are worth a few tenths in the 1/8, only take a few minutes to take off, and sound good uncorked at the track, so what's not to get?

My run a 3" mandrel system back to the cutouts (elec or vac) then T into a 2&1/2" system/restricted muffs rearward from there. Quiet in normal driving & the power is available when you pull the trigger
