I would go with 1 at the end of the y-pipe.

DMH is by far the leader in quality. 4 year warranty is nice to have. It shouldnt run you more than 50 bucks to get one installed.

The best is QTP. Never seen DMH on the sponsor list, wonder why?

Dual DMH cutouts should hopefully be installed this week or at the latest next. I'll post pics and vids when I'm done.

i guess since were certain products then why is it that the only cutouts you ever hear having problems are QTPs? i havent heard of a DMH braking or having issues....i dont claim either to be better, both will work fine, just order what u want and ull be happy

I have a QTP electric cutout. I lubed it and followed the instructions for how to care for it and after all of that the damn motor fell off for no apparent reason driving down I55 leaving litchfield Il and it started slaming off of the floorboard. It worked great before that but I wont spend anymore money on one of these again.

As far as the cutout itself, I had mine made by a local shop. I think it was around 50 bucks.

Maybe because DMH sells like 5 a month.

I had my cutout made by my local exhaust shop for $60.
Its only a manual one though.

The electronic valve will be another $160.

I have a QTP cutout and it started sticking on me the first day I put it on! I would go with DHM. I've never heard anything bad about them.
