Post ?'s about the electric cutout.

How hard is it to install? Where do you run the wires for the cutout at? Is quick time the only place that makes one? Any of you that have it installed. Do you like it?

I have the McCord. http://www.mccordcg.com/mpp/mpp.htm I'm very happy with it so far (a little over a month). It took maybe an hour to install taking my time. I took the wire in through a body plug under the rear passenger side seat, under the carpet to the center console, to the ash tray where I mounted the switch and LED. Sorry no pictures.

No, just makes the best one
Easy install really, did my wires up in the car through one of the drain plugs under the rear passenger seat. Ran it up into the arm rest. Drilled a hole for the switch. Tapped the power off the pink wire on the ASR switch and the black wire off the cig lighter for ground. Done under an hr. Of course i had the cutout welded before hand.

Quick time seems to be the superior. THe main thing need to be the ability to cut off the buterfly when it closes. They are both strong units. McCord worked with me after a shop overtorqued it and broke the shaft. Guys have raved about quicktime & their switch etc. THey are a blast though! After headers I had to lose it-too loud. Just be very aware of the position of the butterfly, etc

Have fun

I've had the quicktime cutout for a few months now and have had no problems. I also ran the wire through the plug under the passengers seat up into the switch in the ashtray.

I have the QTEC and its wired like everyone else has said. Easy to do. I do recommend that before installing it you take all the screws out and put locktight on all the threads. Mine stopped closing after about 2 months on the car so I took it off to look at it. I had lost 2 motor screws and 1 off the butterfly. It works fine after replacing these but if I'd locktighted them, wouldn't have had a problem.
