Default Cutout

For those of you that have cutouts, which ones do you like? Also i was looking at doing an electric cut out, however my friend said the electric ones go loose after a while and leak. Anyone run into this?

I got the DMH for the warranty. Its a little steeper than the Qtec- but I've just seen so many cutouts fail (including a friend who went through 2 Qtecs- one under warranty) that the extra money for their warranty was worth it.

hey guys im getting the 3 inch catless hogan dp, along with the cutout where would be the best place to install it considering the placement of the new downpipe, im guessing right after where the aftermarket downpipe will be welded to the rest of the stock exhaust.?
