Default im CONFUSED on cut outs help!!

Well i've been searching through here looking for the best cut out and im trying to decide between QTPs and the McCord Powerplate, i want an electric cutout (as you can see) but after searching ive found that they both might leak so should i just pick one or what

need some opinions im not going to be running the open all the time ( well thats what i say now ) they will be ran through headers so should i do dual cutouts or single im leaning toward the dual cut outs but tell me something!!!!

A manual cutout suits me just fine. It doesn't get closed that often.

One cutout under the rear seat will do fine. Bring whatever electric cutout you choose (buy the one with the best warranty) with you when you get it welded in to make sure it has the right clearance/orientation. Broke the motor part off mine on a launch, now I cap mine manually.

Try the Street Pro, very high quality, excellent reliability, and it seals great.

Go for the QTP one. Never had an issue with mine. And they make there own stainless steel cutouts as well. Also a sponsor of the site,

Here is the thing, if you ever plan on investing into a "nice exhaust" your going to be pissed when after spending $150 for a Ecutout and not being able to sell if for ****, when myself and other people can go to our local muffler shop to get a manual CO for $60 bucks, i got pulled over 1 time in 6 months for mine, and thats becuase i went Downtown and cops are **** there. Thats just my .02 cents man good luck.

The electric cutout mounts with bolts to standard
header flanges. You want to take it with you, just
unbolt it and buy another set of stubs from Jeg's.
I wouldn't buy a used one as they see rough duty.
Mine still seals and works OK but if it quits, I'll go
old school, braze a crank lever onto the butterfly
and operate it with a cable.
