My cutout was open the whole time. They said the spike is probably because of wheel slipage on the dyno. There was a few cars there that day that had these random spikes.

I have an older FLP electric cutout that is mounted on the over the axle pipe. Its got to be about 5 or 6 years old by now and did jam up once. I took it apart and sprayed brake cleaner on the gate to get rid of the carbon.
Having it on the other side of the axle doesn't give much of a performance benefit but it also means that the noise in the car isn't too bad. I run with it open most of the time. The cats are gutted and it does sound very nasty. When the car was H/C I still had cats and that eliminated the rasp. Don't have the raspy sound with this motor.
The FLP cutout it is a large heavy piece. It makes it hard to keep the exhaust hanging correctly because of the weight of it shaking it back and forth.

Here is a pic of where a single cutout on the i-pipe would go, and a video of an open y pipe (should sound *similar to a cutout on the i pipe)...

^video doesn't do it justice whatsoever... much deeper at idle and has a lot of treble in the tone when you rev it up. Hope this helps,
