DMH cutout
If anyone is interested DMH is having a gp at camaroz28.com. It is $150 shipped for the electric cutout opener and $20 more for a cutout. Just wanted to let you guys know if your interested in getting one. I heard these are the best on the market

Never heard anything bad about the McCord. What have you heard? I might just decide to go with the GP....?

I have heard that the McCords quality is not all that great. Heard about motors that went out after a couple weeks. Then you have to go through the hassle of sending it back and getting it repaired...if you can. Not everyone has had problems with McCord but I have heard enough storys to stay away. I would definetly get in on the gp. If not Qtec also makes cutouts. I heard they have good quality also but DMH is top notch.

Guess it just depends who gets that bad McCords then. I've had mine for about a year with 0 problems. They have a 3 year warranty and are great people to deal with. It cost me $106.00 shipped to my door. I'm glad I went with McCord.

Does anyone have a cut-out from Quick Time Performance? Does it work well?

I’m running a cutout from quick time performance and find it to work great. It’s only been in for about a month now so I have not been on the dyno or at the track yet to see if it makes a difference.

Hmm, anyone got any info on this? Is an exhaust better flowing then an exhaust with a closed cutout?

My father explained it to me as "Exhaust will take the root of least resistance" So it wouldnt create any turbulence.

It will by nature. Think of exhaust or even air intake as water flowing. What does water do when it hits a road block, some of it still goes that way and ends up swirling a bit.
Which brand cut-out do you guys recommend? I love the idea of an electric cutout. I didn't even know of them before I read this post LOL!!! I thought about having a setup similar to it but didn't know that companies actually manufactured them.
What have you all used and how have they lasted? Any problems or malfuctions?
