I have been told by a few muffler shops that Doug's headers makes the best electric cut-out. The cut-out is a guilotine type instead of a butterfly type opening. Problem is they have the patent on them and so far have been a pain in the *** to get. I ordered one from them in February and have yet to receive it. They have claimed manufacturing problems. Every two weeks they say in two weeks
. I want what is supposed to be the best but about to say to hell with them
. Anyone else have any experience with them? BTW Doug's Headers is not Doug Thorley Headers they are two different companies.

They fit anywhere. You weld them right on to any section of straight pipe.

I second for DMH! I waited a month for them when I ordered them but it was worth it. They didnt fit because of ground clearance so I sold them but they were top notch and Ive seen them last a lot longer than other brands. Their motors last a long time and they blade seals very well.

those are the best working cutouts / we used to header coat all of them for the original designer of them here in Riverside until he started making them out of stainless and then sold the design to Doug's
( which he used to work for ) A NICE piece !

Update. I called Gary's drop shop in Ontario on monday to see if they maybe had one. They told me to call another shop. That shop had a single one in stock
. I called the shop that I had the order in to tell them. I told them that I had found the cut-out! They had me check the part number and it was the same. They ordered it and had it shipped ups from Riverside. Long story short I got it Tuesday
. Today or saturday I will get it installed
. FINALLY!
