now besides the obvious, hows the quality difference in manual qtps and electric ones? dmh doesnt make a manual one, and im prolly going to only have this on my car for a year so spending 35 bucks doesnt seem bad for some sound and some performance gain

Manual ones are just the pipe which is welded to your exhaust...you get out and remove cap yourself....there are/were cable operated ones but I have never seen one in person.

I have two QTP cutouts on my car and they began falling apart after only two weeks. QTP tired to blame the problem on a lack of clearance even though there is plenty, then they wanted to charge me to fix their faulty product. Once they go I am getting some other brand of cutouts.
