QTP QTEC Electric Valves

QTP is known for making exhaust components that give you control over your vehicle's sound and performance. This QTEC electric exhaust cutout is a prime example, letting you decide when you want to open up your exhaust system. It's designed to be installed in your exhaust piping, typically before or after the muffler, and when opened, it creates a direct path for exhaust gases to exit, bypassing the muffler entirely. This means you can switch from a quieter, more subdued exhaust note to a loud, aggressive one on demand.

The QTEC45DIYT features a durable stainless steel construction, which is important for handling the high temperatures and corrosive environment of an exhaust system. The electric actuation means you can control it from inside your vehicle with a switch, offering a unique blend of convenience and performance. This kit comes with the cutout itself, the electric motor, and the necessary wiring to connect it to a dash-mounted switch. Installation involves cutting a section out of your exhaust pipe and welding the cutout in place, so some fabrication skill is required. When closed, it seals tightly to prevent leaks and maintain your normal exhaust sound. When open, it significantly reduces backpressure, which can lead to improved throttle response and a noticeable increase in horsepower, especially in modified vehicles.

This is a DIY kit, meaning you'll need to source your own wiring and switch if you want to control it from the cabin, though it does include the basic components to get it working. Keep in mind that this part is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. If you're looking to add a versatile exhaust note to your ride and aren't afraid of a little welding, this electric cutout is a solid option.
