can you fix an E-cutout? Thought I would make an attempt to try and get my girlfriend a little more interested in the bird so I took her out and let her drive. She wasn't going slow enough out of the driveway and clipped my cutout on the lip of my driveway. Hit it so hard it took a chunk out of the concrete! Now the cutout doesn't work. Is it worth trying to get it fixed or is this just a replace it type situation? It is a QTP 4" if you anyone was wondering.

Just take it off and take it apart. They are super simple. One tip would be use a little torch on the bolts before trying to remove them as QTP puts threadlocker on them and the heat will allow you to remove them without stripping the head. I'd get the motor out and see if it will open/close when it is not connected to the butterfly. If so then you just need to find where the butterfly is getting bound up. If the motor is fried contact qtp for a replacement.
