Default Quality of this piece

Hello all. I just received my cutout and after examining it, I thought it would be a good idea to see if this is on par with the quality of others. This is my first cutout so I do not have anything to compare it to. Also, I am not saying it is of low or high quality, just double checking if I need to file down any metal.








Thanks,

Parker

Well, I've seen similar lack-of-attention-to-detail in
both of the ORY merges I bought (TSP old style,
Jet-Hot). Whether that's quality per se, I guess is
a matter of opinion but it looks half-assed to me and
will make some interesting whistles at least, maybe
cost you a little turbulence.

I used a flex shaft grinder and ball stone to dress all
the sharps off mine.

They always want to show you the pretty side, never
the ugly innards.

I agree I was only shown the shiny stainless outside, not the awkward cuts inside.
Do you think the turbulence caused when the cutout is closed will be less efficient than no cutout at all? Or would it be negligible?

I reckon I will get it as flush as possible so it will not skew the results of seeing if a cutout gains over the stock CME.

Thanks,

Parker
