How does a QTP Cutout work?
More specifically the switch. The site says its a toggle, so wouldnt that mean its eitehr a. open or b. closed? The site says you can run it open, closed, or anywhere inbetween. Im curious as to how you make it 'inbetween'. Im getting an LS1, and I think instead of getting a loudmouth, i'll get a quieter muffler and a cutout, so it can be really loud, or nice and quiet, and I have a Thunder Racing credit, and they sell the QTP CO. Thanks.

The cutout is powered by a small DC motor, and the switch basically tunrs the motor on (forward of backwards) and off. You can run the cutout totally closed, open, or anywhere in between. All you do is depress the switch until the cutout moves where you want it. Really though, you will likely have it either all open or all closed. Having it part way open doesn't really make it noticeably quieter compared to all the way open. Hope that helps.

not to rag on QTP, they make awesome products, and electric cutouts are a fun to play with. but if i could do it all over again i wouldn't have gotten the cut-outs. they tend to leak and the motors like to work themselves lose. i've had to take them apart and tighten up the bolts inside twice now. plus the track almost always shuts me down when i try to run them open. i'm going to swap them for true duals.
