Get a 3inch. Manual or electric depends on how often you are going to use it and if you are lazy. I have a electric and I am glad I have it now, because my car is loud now with my headers so I like to close it once in awhile. Yes in my opinon it is worth it to shell out the extra money for the electric.

Get the electric 3". For the money it's worth not having the crawl under the car every time you want to open it or close it.

I would save the money and get a 3" manual cutout. I doubt you will be closing the cutout enough to justify the cost of the electric cutout. I had a manul cutout for 6 months and i only capped it once. The one time i capped it was during my smog check.
