The only ones I know of are the QTP, whcih is a butterfly style, and the McCord power plate, but I can't remember how that one works - that could be the one you are looking for.

I got the FLP unit on my car... it ain't the cheapest cut-out in the world... but I think I got what I paid for with this unit. You can see some videos of how it works and what it sounds like on my webpage @ WWW.AVIGDOR.NET , look under the car section.

My QTEC leaked a little bit at first but doesn't at all anymore. Probably from some of the carbon buildup. Even if does, a little RTV will take care of it.
