I just ordered the exhaust and was looking at the QTP electric cutout.

I got the quads and the Qtec 302 cutouts installed today, and all I can is ****!!!!! The sound is awsome. I see now why the guys whove gone a head and installed the quads say to run them wide open. It makes a deep mellow tone thats not loud, yet it can be heard fom a distance. I thought my car sounded good with the Borla ATAK system and the stock h pipe (i didnt like the x pipe sound) but now it sounds just badass. It gave the exhaust a much deeper tone and you CAN hear the difference when i hit switch for Qtec 302's. For anyone who ask if the quad exhaust is worth it, yes it is....as far as the Qtec 302's.....it is if you have a need to make your car quiet in a hurry. I got a few pics, but I didnt have enough time to video today. I'll get some video tommorrow and post it.

I haven’t mounted it yet. I really don’t like the idea of drilling holes in the interior, but the spot I’m looking at is down near the hand brake. It would be out of the way and not easily seen. When I get it mounted I’ll post a pick of where I put it.

It was great hearing how much you like the sound from the Boss quad pipes. When I try to explain how much better the sound is I can tell people are skeptical and sometimes don't believe you. It is indeed, that good.

As to the QTP valves - extremely well done pieces. I have them but never bolted them in as I didn't see the tone/burble from the pipes without any attenuation plates as offensive or 'too' loud. Again, the engineering and quality are first rate. But the sound uncapped is what I want to hear every moment the engine is spinning. To each his own I guess.

Nice photos as well. Thanks for documenting your install and sharing it here.

I bought the qtp's thinking the car would be louder than what it is, so when i was by myself i would run it wide open but when i had the little one with me(she loves to ride in the mustang) i would hit the switch and tone it down. I kinda wish i could have heard the quads in person so i would have known that the qtp's were not needed.

If any of you guys don't want your QTP cutouts, please let me know asap as I am looking at ordering a set soon.

The Boss comes factory with the cutouts, right? If yes, where is the factory location for switch?

The Boss does come factory with quad exhaust but not electronic cutouts. From the factory the Boss has a plate at the side exit of the H pipe that can be removed.

I placed my QTP switch in the center console storage bin. I drilled a hole in the removable plastic piece on the left side of the bin. Its out of the way and cant be seen at all.

So in the stock Boss, the side pipes are always open? If I get these, leave the restrictor plates in, I can consider this the same as a stock Boss?

Looks nice. Bet it sounds even better. Can't wait to hear the new kit for the 4.6!

Congrats!! Sounds bad a$$ in the video...but i know for a fact that it's even better in real life!

We need someone to collect a video from outside the car. Ford claims that by angling the exhaust downwards, it made it much quieter for everyone but the driver....so i have no clue how loud this setup is from curbside.

I was disappointed that the Ford Racing part uses an X-pipe instead of the H-pipe, given the tone differences between the two. I suspect that someone will post something in the near future, now that it has been released.

If you like the X-pipe sound, I believe one would appreciate it.

If I do this I have to be able to turn it off otherwise I'll never be able to drive this car at night when the cops are out without possibly giving them a reason to pull me over. I'd rather not try to explain to them on the side of the road that the exhaust is a legal ford piece. Also with the baffles it's kinda well... pointless.

No, they don't have anything better to do.
