noice...i'll have a look. its a great price already at $200 tho

they say it adds all this HP but im not so sure.

so what about tuning/problems? for my NA2.5 i wont have any back pressure with it engaged.
so the crackling you would normally hear, isnt that outside air traveling up the exhaust and doing something with the engine or valves? and is that bad?

I saw one on a LGT.

we make and sell them also..i have one on my prelude which ive shown to people at the meets. its one of my fave mods! theres a few guys on here that have them on their subys...i just cant remember their SN

ive had a lot of people bring broken QTPs to us. i would say that the most important factor in making it last is how you install it tho.

yah, alot of the problems ive read with ppl having qtp cutouts, is that they do something custom and install/weld it in a bad place in their exhaust.. and when they go over a big bump or run over something etc etc, it gets damaged.. but that has nothing to do with QTP specifically..QTP designed their cutout/DP combo where the actual cutout sits nearly if not perfectly flush with the rest of your exhaust.. its a good piece but pricey! my recomendation for ppl who buy their own cutouts is know what your doing 1st
