That's not an electric cutout. It's just a manual cutout with a cable that goes from the valve to the dash. I actually think Summit or Jeg's has them even cheaper.

that thing is a piece of crap. I had one and I think it's in my garage somewhere. The adjustable butterfly rattled around like crazy and never closed fully. Plus the guys at the muffler shop said that it's cast iron construction doesn't really hold up that well when welded. just my .02

That heavy, cheapie manually operated cut out is also only available in 2 1/4" inch diameter or smaller as well, too small for our cars.
Get a QTP or get nothing at all.
