Best electric cut out????
I am over 700RWHP and haven't had any problems. I run a 3.5" round. I don't think the pressure pulse theory is holds much weight with an open path through the exhaust system, at least I don't see how.
I see that Badlandz offers a 5 year limited warranty, is the DMH 4 warranty limited or all inclusive?

DMH cutouts are the best out there. Mine just quit working in 8 years, I called them up earlier today and told them what happened to it. They told me to ship it to them and they would fix it for free. Keep in mind that the warranty is only good for four years. They also said if they can't fix it that they would send me a new one for free. That has to bethe best customer service out there that I know of.

WKMCD-I love that setup....As for me I run a 3" DMH round e-cutout. Have had no problems, it will go from full closed to full open in 3 seconds. I am at 650rwhp and I am not sure about the detonation factor with it closed but I am running LT's, ORY, and a magnaflow. On the dyno, the results are surprising, and cutout open vs closed I pick up 25rwhp. You were asking about options, only thing I can think of, that is cheap, is an old fashion cable driven manual cutout.
dont go QTP, i bought the dual 3'' round setup and have the electric controller as well from a user on here..when i got it one of the motors was allready broke so i bought a new motor from qtp for $40 then a month later the other one went out so i had to send that one in, now about 3 weeks ago my digital controller is going crazy, sometimes opens one or both or none, deffinitly wouldnt go QTP...
DMH gets my vote...I have been using mine for about 5 + years now at over 150,000 miles with no problems .... Dave at DMH is a great guy to deal with ... he is the owner and he will bend over backwards to keep you happy..the customer service there is legendary to say the least....

I've had the qtp cut out with my borla for more than 6 years without it ever failing. I open and close it quite often. To date it is my favorite mod that I've done for my car. Well, except maybe the nitrous, but the most useful when it comes to making it more streetable and quiet when I need it.
I dont get why some say that they have gotten several years out of an electric cutout but all the ones that I have seen last a year tops. What are the driving habits? Does a certain type of fuel kill them? You guys having success running them behind a cat or something?

My QTP's fall apart about every 3 months, I've been running them on my vehicles for around 8 years. They always break...They are fun and sound cool but my conclusion is: CRAP, GARBAGE...I might switch to DMH's.
