Yes happend to me about 7 months after I bought it. QTP wanted to charge me $30 to send it back for them to fix it.

My two mccord power plates crapped out in about year. I just took the motors out and hosed em down with WD40 & ran em on my bench and they started working again. Mine just crapped out cuz the motors were full of dirt so I would be sure to try cleaning yours before you junk them

This is exactly why I would only get a normal cut out. Something about having an electric motor next to all the heat and dirt of an exhaust system just never sounded right to me. Just get a regular cutout and leave it open all the time.

Bump to the top. I just got my QTP and hope it doesn't crap out anytime soon! Unfortunately, I haven't exactly heard many stories of "people that have had it on their car for 3-4 years without any problems"! HAHA!

Thats why I did a search on here before I bought mine. QTPs don't have that good of a record. DMHs have 3 year warranty and cost less.

Ive had my QTP cut-outs for close to 3 years without a problem although in my application they are located at the very rear of the exhaust so they might not see as much heat as a typical application.

Barry at QTP is very fair and I would encourage any of you in the event you ultimately have a problem to contact him directly. Im sure if they are reasonably close to new he would help you at no charge....after a year or two I dont think $30 is out of line considering the corrosive and brutal environment of your exhaust system. And I personally like the compact design of the QTP cut-out which is another reason I opted to use him.

Just my .02

I didn't post to bash QTP they make some quality products. But most places don't stand behind their products like Barry is doing. Most of the time if somethings out of warranty its out of warranty and the customer is left holding the bag. And the searches I did hit the posts where everybody says my stuff don't work more and 90 percent of the failures was probally due the operator himself. Nobody ever posts Barry will fix you up for 30 bucks.

I stand corrected. Enough said.

+1 for sponsers who stand behind their products.

Ive had my DMH cutout for one year and its still runnin strong

This comes up every week. DMH hands down time and time again. I have heard of one maybe two DMH cutout's go bad. I hear about the QTP's crapping left and right at least once a week. On here!

Maybe because QTP sells 100 to DMH 1 unit. I just got QTP from Summit Racing. This will be on my new F Body. Had one on my old ride. Ya think Summit would carry a product that would fall apart like you say. Cant beleive what ya read on the net.

one of my qtp's froze up and it was because of all the junk... I lossened the two allen heads, swung the flapper open, cleaned it out... then closed and tightened.. works better now

I dont believe facts that i find on the internet, but I listen to people's opinions on products. When I hear about QTP failing all the time, i think i am going to not risk it. That is why i went with a DMH and have been happy for 3 years now.

Well there is a lesson to be learned here. Don't put on your electic cutout and forget about a little bit of maintance. I try to a least once a month to let it hold it with some WD40 or Power lube or whatever. Along with checking the torque arm lock nut and tranny bolts and whatever your ride loves to shake loose just for the pure hell of it.

Had QTP first. It rattled when closed and I sold it as it annoyed me. The guy that bought it off me had it die on him. It didn't last very long at all. I bought a DMH next. It rattled but is still working but hate the rattling so going with one last chance pricier one..pro street or something like that.
They are great fun when they work.
Anyone run those pro street ones?

Rattling is covered under our 4 year warranty. Send it back and we will repair/replace it for you.
