I had a small problem with the switch for my dual DMH e-cutouts. There was a bad solder joint on a wire and the left side would hang up one way or the other.

Other than that. No problems.

After I had my cutout for about 6 months:


It was literally hanging there when I walked out to my truck one day. After spending 45 minutes and home depot hunting for screws to put it back together with loctite I got it working again.

Then 3 months after that:


I bought a dmh after that and havent had a problem with it for over a year.

Long story short, QTP makes their money by forcing you to buy a controller.

I went throgh 4 QTP's in 2 damn years. If you don't let off the switch at the exact right moment, they will still be trying to turn and will eventually strip the gear or just break it right off as you see above, which is exactly what happened to me.

A buddy of mine had his QTP's do this too and he was told to order the automatic controller. It stops the cutouts at just the right time so they work fine from then on, go figure. The catch is, it's an addition $110 for the controller and from what I've seen, it's a MUST if you actually want the cutouts to last. The DMH's are designed to release the gear after they stop so they won't be continuously trying to push the motors after they have siezed up until they break.

The guy who makes the DMH cutouts is a really stand up guy and started making these on his own after some bad personal experiences with QTP and watching others get screwed over by them. If ANYTHING goes wrong with the DMH's, he is quick to replace them no questions asked, whereas QTP will pretty much tell you to go screw yourself. He made me a custom 4" cutout with an adjustable turndown to match and I absolutely loved it and never had to worry about it again.

Anther cool feature the DMH's have is that unlike the QTP's which have fixed mounting holes, they are slotted which allows for adjustability and takes care of a lot of clearence issues, plus the motors are a bit smaller which helps this as well. DMH FTW!

The only think I am wondering about the DMH's, not that this would hinder me from buying them, is can you run a single switch with 2 cutouts at the same time or do you have to have a separate switch for each cutout? I only ran a single 4" with my old setup so I don't know but I have been thinkng for running 2 in my downpipes and I was just curious of how they would have to be wired up.
