Default QTEC cutout?

I'm thinking of doing this to my car with the long tube headers. What do you guys think?

The QTEC would be installed before the stock catalytic so when you want the power you can open the QTEC and bypass the restrictive stock exhaust system. This would also give you more power gains than any aftermarket system because your completely bypassing the system hence 0 resistance.

Is the QTEC the electric cutout? Either way it is not going to be a bolt on item and I would be concerned about the fact the that the exhaust would not even pass over the OEM exhaust sensors.

correct me if i'm wrong but the long tube headers do away with the cats. Also, you would need to install the cutout where the y-pipe comes together so you don't have to use 2 of them. Either way, its gonna be LOUD! I'd be interested to hear a clip of that.
