I've heard of porblems with them getting stuck close or open. Seems there's just to much heat for them to work good all the time. But you can really have some fun with them when there workin right.

I've got one.....it's been on for about a month....never had ANY problems with it. There are alot of fun and they sound great because you can adjust the volume of them. IF your goin about 50 mph and dump it....it sounds like a nascar..! Had my stereo on 20....and my exhaust was louder...but...you can quit it down too...so..it's really cool

HEre are 2 sites that I know of..... http://www.quicktimeperformance.com/qtec.htm
http://www.mccordcg.com/mpp/pictures.htm

I went with McCord Power Plate II, alot of people have used the Quick Time cutouts and like them very very much too.

can you partially open them? or are they either opened or closed?
also, there is quite a difference in price, is it "you get what you paid for"? or are they about the same?

thanks,

david

I bought the McCord Power Plate because that was the 1st one I saw.....I notice more people use the Quick Time...but..I haven't heard any negative comments on either of them.....I think they are about the same....but.I not 100% sure. And Yes....you can set it anywhere between...so you can "tune" how loud you want it....it's a blast..and I love it..!

I have dual flowteck warlock mufflers with cutouts on them, there is a blockoff plate that you can take off and it goes straight through, its a 3" flange i believe.....do they make specific cutouts for that? or do they have anything that will fit it? i couldnt seem to find it on the sites.
