No its a momentary rocker switch meant for a power window application.

Bob's cut outs are the best I have ever seen on a C4.

I too have considered that route. Also, I like "Mike100s" setup (featured in HOTB a few months back).

As I see it.. IF you have a relatively "quiet" muffler, albeit a little restrictive, then Bob's cutouts might make sense.

But, if you have the throaty and free-breathing Dynamax 17228s (like Al and Dominic and others are using), then installing the gate on one of the twin outlets is needed to quiet those puppies (and a good job they do!).

As for the wiring, IIRC on a 91+ the charcoal canister is in the rear fender area. On Bob G's (427 LT5) it was removed and the existing wire was used to control the gates (mounted on the twin outlets). And, I believe that Pete also has that setup and he could shed a spotlight on how it is wired (tho I believe his and Bob G's is fully automatic (no manual override), but that may have changed (might now have a manual override switch?)

Hope one of them chimes in.... Maybe some day I'll get to ride in Bob B's and Dominic's cars w/ and w/o the gates closed and make a decision.

I'm looking forward to hearing both cars (inside & out) and making the comparison. Since I plan to drive up in my '90, which I hope will be sporting a couple of QTP cut-outs on the "almost stock" LT4 exhaust, then we can listen to at least three, possibly more. Should be enlightening, educational, and informative ... that's retired teacher talk for FUN ...

anyone else old enough to remember Richard Boone as Paladin in "Have Gun, Will Travel"?

I'm thinking of printing some business cards with "Have Camera, Will Travel"

Actually, I'm not old enough to remember that TV show ... I think my grandparents told me something about it a few years ago.

The truth is my parents didn't buy a TV until I was grown & moved out
