What Quick Time Performance, Llc does

Quick Time Performance, LLC (QTP) is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer founded in 2002 and headquartered in Moore, South Carolina. The company designs, manufactures, and sells electric exhaust cutout valves and complete performance exhaust systems for cars and trucks, positioning itself as the original inventor and pioneer of electronically controlled exhaust cutout technology under its QTEC sub-brand. Core technical differentiators include a CNC-machined 6061 aircraft-aluminum valve body, stainless-steel butterfly plate and shaft, a 1.5 ft-lb high-torque DC gear-drive motor, and weatherproof wiring with locking connectors; vehicle-specific Aggressor kits use CAD-modeled 304 stainless pipework in a cut-and-clamp design requiring no welding, and wireless remote controllers add consumer-convenience integration with HomeLink-style systems.

The product portfolio is organized into several branded lines: QTEC electric cutout valves, Aggressor vehicle-specific cutout pipes, Screamer Twintronic exhaust systems, AR3 exhaust systems, Eliminator exhaust systems, and supporting accessories (mufflers, turn downs, exhaust tips, replacement parts, wireless controllers/clips, engine lifting plates, and apparel). Vehicle fitment spans domestic muscle (Camaro SS 2016-2024, Dodge Challenger/Charger/Chrysler 300C), off-road (Jeep Wrangler JL 2018-2025, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk 2018-2022), and light-truck (Silverado/Sierra 1500 2014-2018) segments.

The revenue model is hardware-unit sales through a four-channel distribution stack: a direct-to-consumer e-commerce site (quicktimeperformance.com), an active wholesale 'Become A Dealer' program, and third-party Amazon and eBay marketplaces, with free ground shipping offered on orders over $200 across the 48 contiguous US states. Pricing is unit-based, with kits typically $250-$600 and vehicle-specific Screamer systems ranging from approximately $1,500 to $2,900, supplemented by minor accessories and apparel. The customer base is long-tail individual automotive performance enthusiasts and a mid-market dealer/installer network, and the company markets its products exclusively as 'Made in USA'.
