Planning on putting QTP Electric Cutoffs. Need help
Once again, still new here...I'm ready to upgrade the exhaust....
First I was going to go with Mike's Power Pipe Straight Pipe. but I want something crazy at a touch of a button as well and havnt heard the greatest reviews on the Agency Power one. Plus I dont want to change the AMG muffler and stock tips
So my friend said go QTP Electric cutoffs.
in summery I want something a little more growl at idle and low ends but with a touch have something crazy loud and if I go QTP Electric cutoffs only I'm thinking when the cutoffs are closed it will be too quiet for what I want
Should I Delete the Resinator AND / OR Secondary Cats and add the QTP?
And last question. Can I go with Mikes Power pipe and the QTP
No matter what I dont want to loss that AMG bark we all love

The cutouts wont have a distinct amg sound. They'll just be stupid loud, very stupid loud. You get the AMG sound from the mufflers.
Start at just deleting secondary cats and resonator. If you're set on the cutout I'd put it somewhere around where the secondary cats are now at not all the way back

+1 while me and my friend were both getting our secondary cats & resonators deleted. We wanted to see how it would sound like right after the mechanic cut off the 2nd cats. And yes it was loud, but it did not sound good, nor did it sound like a AMG anymore, more like a Chevy Silverado with modified exhaust.

I endorse this.
Your secondary cats + resonators are where you want to start first. Relatively inexpensive and it for the most part solves owners issues with raising the tone of the exhaust without being totally crazy.

yes I do want this for sure as my "daily tone" but there are times I want to have just absolute crazy loud with a flip of a switch which why I'm thinking 2nd cat + resonator delete with the QTP electric cutout should fit exactly what I want

Even long tube headers can be somewhat reserved if you're just driving around in C mode.
But have at it with the cutouts. As mentioned, they wont have an AMG sound to them, but they will sound like a v8 with no exhaust.
As for the comment about only 1 place to put the cutouts... Yeah there is plenty of room well before the rear of the exhaust. Such as where the secondary cats would be.
