Default LT/ORY people: Does your cutout rattle when it's closed?

thinking about getting a stainless steel cutout to go with my LT/ORY/Magnaflow to be extra loud when I want it to be, but i'm going to cap it from time to time...

does your MANUAL cutout rattle when it's closed?

any reason not to get it?

No rattles. Interior rattles....yes. LOL It will make that part from 2000-3000 rpms really loud and raspy as hell. Other than that, it sounds great! I plan on going to a custom true duals out the back with 1 chambers.

interior rattles when it's open, correct? I'm expecting that.. it did that on stock manifolds for me. but i'm talking about when it's closed specifically.. does it rattle?

sweet car by the way... you ever redo your paint job? love that color and wheels

It doesn't rattle when its closed or leak. Mine is the electric QTP. Uhhh, paint...whats that? No not yet. Since school started again, I have no time. My car is half prepped now and has been for a while. I have the worst looking car on the site right now.

My electric DMH rattled after 2 years but I mailed it in and they sent me a new one for free without any receipt or anything (can't beat that 4 year warranty)!

if you have the cap tightened down properly, it is NOT possible for it to rattle.

I think he is asking of when the cutout is open does the parts on the car rattle. And the ansser is yes. It will vibrate anything that is loose in the car. Like change in the ash tray will vibrate. No biggie. I just close my qtp electric cutout and its all quiet again

The electric cut might start to rattle but all you have to do is tighten the tiny allen head screw that holds the flapper in place and go ahead and put some red locktight on it while you are there.
