Default Good reliable and leak-free electric cut outs?

I'm looking to put cut outs on my car. I would like my car to sound stock at all times except when I want to have some fun with it. Yes this in not really a performance mod I know.

I was wondering if any body could recommend a good brand of cutouts that wont fail or leak when not in use.

any help is apreciated

DMH is the only brand of cutout we sell or endorse. There is no comparison between the DMH quality and the competition's quality.

I ran a used DMH that was on 2 other cars before mine. I ran a stock cat back (silent when in the car, loved it!) and 2.5" - 3.5" Y then the cut out, and stock exhaust. I couldn't be happier with it. Never leaked, opened quick/closed quick. I also gained 12-15RWHP proven on 3 different dynos between the cut out open/closed on my 383 N/A and on bottle.

I've had QTP's for ages, and love 'em.

I had qtp first this was like 5 years or so ago so design could have changed since then.It leaked and sold it and it broke shortly after according to the guy that bought it off me. I then bought dmh this was again about 5 years ago and they could have improved their design since then.It leaked when closed and hate that so sold it. It did work fine otherwise.

I then bought a street pro..very pricey but very different in design and it seems to both work and be rattle free.I would like to pick up one for my 96z vert soon and not sure what will go with. There is another brand besides the three mentioned but forget the name now that is supposed to be pretty good. Might try one of them. Since live up here in Canada its a pain to ship back cutouts if they need repair. Dmh did offer to repair my cutout for me just that shipping and duty and taxes would have made that difficult. I can't remember if I even bothered to contact qtp back then or just sold it off.

Again not saying the current cutouts from qtp or dmh don't work fine mine.
