Best Electric Cutout?
After my QTP experiences for street usage, I've moved away from electronic cutouts, altogether. If you use them for street usage, they're gonna' break after awhile ... no matter what brand you buy. If you buy them to use ONLY for when you go to the dragstrip, well, I think they are worth it for convenience sake, but, a few wingnuts are pretty easy to loose up, as well. Overall, they're a lot of fun on the street, but, a waste of good money after they break ... IMHO.
Don't count on the McCord solving all your problems.
Mine worked for about 8 months before the butterfly plate came off, sent it in for repair. It worked another 4 months (just long enough for the warranty to run out) and then the motor died.
My new exhaust doesn't have a cutout so no need for me to buy a replacement.

Hey jimmyblue could you pm me who you got your cut out from.I'm just tring to weigh my options and see whats out there.
The second cutout I have from one of the vendors has failed like the first.So I just want to go another route.I know people will say to send it back,but I feel that when you pay for a product all I ask is that it performs for more than a few months.Why should I pay to have it fixed when its the second one.I'd rather pay $1000 for one from a different company that might work then pay for another I know will probably fail.

Its a known problem and their only answer seems to be send it back and we'll charge x amount of $ to fix it.Oh yeh,and you pay shipping as well.So after $300 plus dollars I went with a different cutout,which I cant say on here,but it doesnt begin with a M.I went with what Chris1313 has,to see if it works.Its also a true 3" plus e-cutout.Not a 3" with a 1" hole!
I wish they were a sponser,but I cant control that.I hate to buy from non-sponsers,but sometimes you have to go outside the box! 
Sorry for the long post,those that know me,know I'm pretty stubborn and bulheaded and I feel I usually give a product a good chance to perform.If it doesnt I throw it away and try another.Never complaining ,just chalking it up as a loss and making sure everyone I know personally knows what problems I had.Which in its self is sorta dumb,but o'well.

Well I know who you speak of and honestly after a few weeks of research, emails, and discussion, I will be getting those also. We shall see.......

I dont even know how well the cutout is going to work!But like I said I'll give them a chance and hopefully it works out.They do seem like a good cut out.
Stop with the damn gravedigging by voting people! EVERYTIME you vote in a poll, it bumps it. What good is a 4 month old thread going to do with no new information posted in it? Voting and then leaving clogs up the boards with threads we were glad to get rid of and makes less rooms for new threads we need to address!
