There is no "best", every1 will have different opinions. I personally have the QTP electric cutout and I love it! Easy to wire the switch, and I ran the wire thru the firewall plug under the rear passenger seat floor mat.

DMH hands down. You can't beat a 4 year warranty. I have one, and I just actually got it finished up. It's Nice!

I had QTP and it sucked...it was slow and the motors were junk on them. Switched to DMH and love it...they are faster and much more heavy duty with an awesome warranty! QTP didnt warranty ****

DMH. The best customer support out there. They sent me a brand new cutout after the original one went bad after 3 years. I replaced it and was good to go! I sent them back the old one back after I got the replacement one in the mail. Now how many companys take the word of their customer and send out a new part before receiveing the old one? Just one I know of so far. DMH.

Only downside is you can't ever get a hold of the guy. Ordered a replacement motor for a cutout from him (paid for it via paypal like he said with Model number and all) and two months later have received nothing. Called and emailed numerous times and left messages and have yet to ever hear from him or see anything. Only time I ever talked to him was about a replacement part before I sent him money.

Warranty doesn't mean much if you can't get in contact with the guy to get the warranty replacement.

x20000 on not being able to get a hold of the guy at DMH. It took forever to get my 4inch e cutout made for my QTP cutout pipe. It took over a month to get a switch. Two weeks to get a wiring harness. Now my e cutout has taken a ****. Good thing the warranty is four years because that's probably how long it's going to take for me to get it replaced.

I noticed that the summit cutout is advertised for 3" pipe, but the butterfly is only 2.5". Are they all that way?
