when I was looking into cut-outs, i did a lot of research on them. QTP, and the jegs/summit brands all seem to be complete junk. Fall apart after 6 months. Warranty is almost impossible, etc.

I'd just save up for a good one, or bite the bullet and get a manual one.

Really?
I have had my QTP for 2 years now and no problem?
I guess it is just a matter of opinion.

I have heard good and bad things about QTP. I have not heard anything about Summit's brand.

I have a RaceReady--because they offer a lifetime warranty. They run a few more bucks, but I figured that a lifetime warranty would be worth the extra $$$ over a 1 year warranty... :twocents:

No man, it's not a matter of opinion. I've heard of literally hundreds of QTP cutouts failing. They're just junk. Obviously not every single one fails otherwise they'd have to recall them, but they are junk.

Or no cut-outs at all. No hassle of them breaking and warranties and no crawling to pull the plates. Problem solved.

Tyler, you're too old to have cut-outs.:greg:

Well i like them for the every now and then when i really wanna be heard :) i ran a stock 4thgen muffler on my 82 ta with a 3.5in i pipe and a cutout and it sounded good too me and plenty loud but some times id wanna ride through town and get some attention so id crawl under and open the cutout and it was a lot of fun. Ill prob throw a manual one on for now and see how i like it but id really like it once i cam it to really freak people out when i open it up at stop lights :)

I've seen motors burn out, sealing issues, a few people had the screws completely come out of the butterfly flap(the actual name escapes me).

just run straights like i did on my 06 w/ 5.3. LTs and straights dumped under the bed is awesome! .... or just keep it simple if you have to have a cut out and like someone already posted, wing nuts and a plate!

Like I said, a matter of opinion, or here say? Did you own one that failed? Then it would be from experience.

$250 a piece on Ebay. Not sure if they sell them on Ebay anymore...might try JC Whitney or Summit.

You're at the very far end of 20's though, see I'm at the bottom end of it so that makes it acceptable

Yes, they are for teens. Thanks for the clarification. BTW, don't try to sell anyone on your "20's" thing, you might be more bald than me. :argg::greg::ma:

I did my homework before I bought my DMH cutout. I wasn't about to make the mistake hundreds(if not thousands) have made.

There becomes a point when opinion merges with fact. Was Hitler a bad guy? He only ordered the killing of 6 million people.

Was the gremlin a bad car? I'm sure a few people liked them.

See the point I'm making.
