I have several problems with there design. You couldn't pay me to put another one of those pieces of **** on my ride.
I'd recommend getting one from Keith McCord. It's cheaper than the others, but a better built unit. Instead of having barely enough room to get a nut on the bolts, this design has slots, so there is room for adjustment and an overall better fit.

What would a shop probably charge for these welds?

The powerplate is secured to the cutout with nuts & bolts. A shop should weld the cutout in for about $20.

There are only 2 ways to install it. I tried both, and it leaked both times.

did the QTP get more expensive? looks like the Keith McCord and DMH's are better deals anyway. are there any other brands within the same price range?
in order to put the cut out in pre cats ill need two right? otherwise, if i only want to pay for one, where would the best place be to put it? what can i expect the difference to be sound wise of these different locations? in general, will my 5.3L sound pretty mean?

Itll sound like **** cause you basically have a stock truck, and where you are talking about putting them is asking for a burnt valve when you shut it down with the cutouts open since cool air will hit the exhaust valves quickly. I would put one right where your catback starts for best sound and performance, later if you get lt headers then put one on each collector.
