I personally like the street pro's. I had a post going around a while back and a lot of people voted for all of them but I just liked the design and what everyone said about the street pro's.

Broke the motor portion off mine somehow, plus it leaked/rattled when closed after a few months. Had fun while it lasted - now I just cap it manually.

I have a non-sponsor one on my car which works fine, but
certain of the sponsors commence whining when I mention
it.

biggest diameter cutout actual 3.5 inches and fits a 3in y pipe, so it flows a full 3 inches, that is what i got http://www.nonsponsor.com/, pretty sure if you mention you are from ls1tech he will knock off another 5 dollars. I like mine had for 1 year now and no leaks, knock on wood...

I have two QTP's. They are trash. Started coming loose after two weeks with no obvious way to fix them. QTP wanted money to fix their own crap. I am waiting for them to fail then I'm going to get some McCords. They are cheaper and higher quality.

My QTP I had lasted about a year and I used it a lot ... finally the butterfly plate loosened and caused me more trouble than it was worth. I sent it back to QTP and their support was fantastic, but, once they finally got the back-ordered motor in, it broke only 2 weeks after the rebuild.

Im with you. I think that the electric cutout is a good idea, just been poorly engineered for vibration and road wear and tear.
