Default electric exhaust cut outs

whats a good brand? i am hearing that lots of people are disappointed when the cutouts don't make a good seal and you can hear the "puff puff puff"

any good experiences with brands out there?

thanks

Race land 3" cutout is what I would recommend. Fast strong motor and three years later still seals like new

Welded the cutout in the I pipe after the y pipe. Then right above it there is a rubber grommet to run the wire right under the passenger seat. It plugs into the cigarette lighter and comes with a wireless remote

is this the one you bought?

i am also looking at this:
Cutout:
Amazon.com: QTP QTEC30CPS 3" Electric Exhaust Valve & SS Cutout: Automotive Amazon.com: QTP QTEC30CPS 3" Electric Exhaust Valve & SS Cutout: Automotive

Wireless Controller:
Amazon.com: QTP Wireless Remote Cutout Controller: Automotive Amazon.com: QTP Wireless Remote Cutout Controller: Automotive

Turn Down:
Amazon.com: QTP 11300 3" Polished Stainless Exhaust Tip Turndown: Automotive Amazon.com: QTP 11300 3" Polished Stainless Exhaust Tip Turndown: Automotive

thinking on running the wiring thru engine bay, and mounting receiver on fender and direct connect to battery

any thoughts on that?
