Race ready electronic cutouts are the best. They have a lifetime warranty. I also think their actual cutouts are the best. They have the cleanest cuts I have ever seen where the pipes join together

^^^ What he said. I also have a RaceReady 3" E-cutout on my ORY. They supply you with good quality wires and the electric cutout itself seems top notch. Go to their website and then compare them to QTP and all the others. You'll probably agree after doing a little research that the Race Ready cutout seems superior. Just my opinion though.

QTP is the way to go. RaceReady is a cheap knock off of DMH and almost twice the price of QTP. QTP is over on the right on the sponsor list. I have never seen anyone else mentioned on the right. What does that tell ya

Where do you get "almost twice the price"??? I see a $5 difference on prices that I have found online.
QTP=$204 and Race Ready= $209

I had a QTP and put a DMH on my friends car 2 years ago. Both worked great. No issues. The DMH was a bit more finicky at install (had to grind the cutout housing a bit so the butterfly opened/closed smoothly.)

Cheap knock off of DMH? Twice the price? I am certain you are not speaking from experience. I have personally owned Flowtech, QTP, and Race Ready cutouts and I can tell you the race ready product is worlds better! The flowtech was not cut cleanly and the QTP looked like a monkey got loose with a saw. The Race Ready cutout was cut VERY accurately and smoothly. I have also owned QTP electric cutouts and not only is the quality lacking, their customer service is the worse in the industry I have ever experienced, ever! I have personally spent tens of thousands of dollars on aftermarket products and I will never spend a dime on QTP again!

QTP I got mine used from a local member for $80 works like a champ.

First time my QTP cutout broke after 6 months of easy use. It is very discomforting to see something hanging down from your truck when you go to get in...



Less than 6 months later after replcing the 4 missing screws and bolts - which were all different sizes! - and using threadlocker, I get this:



The bar broke and was flapping around in the exhaust - it sounded horrible. I had a DMH for about 6 months and it started to not want to seal properly and I sent it back almost a month ago and havent recieved it back or gotten an email response...but the unit itself is much better than the QTP.
