Good choice, I had it for over 3 months now with no problems.
And about the instillation it will take you no longer then 3 hours.

I hope i don't have any problems.....the plan for the installation is to have the cutout itself installed by a local Meineke and then me and my friend are going to do the electric part...he did his own and it took him about 40 min.

i've got DMH. No problems here so far I've had it for almost a month. Install was pretty easy only took me about an hour but you can do it in less if you're not as picky about where you want the wire to run. Had a friend just burn out his QTP electric cut out and i'm pretty sure he's gonna get the DMH.

this car just sounds insane now...i just can't believe how LOUD it is. The only problem is that the switch they sent me is no good. when i close it its fine. But when i'm opening it...you have to literally push the switch in until it gets stuck, thats when it opens.

I've had a McCord for probably 4 or 5 years now and it's a good product. I must have hit something at some point because the frame of the mcCord got bent. I sent it into them and they replaced the entire thing for $50(cost of the frame).

I would recommend their product.

I have had my Mccord for over 3 years now, I finally just took it off because the plate came out while I was driving. I will send it back to get it rebuilt by Mccord, great product. I used mine quite often as well.

I will be ordering one in a day or so. I just want my car louder when I want it, as I think it is quiet now, but most think it is loud as hell
