Does anyone have any experience with electric cutouts? Good or bad experience with certain brands, warranty, service, etc? ------------- Jeff 72 base Torino (modified) 72 Gran Torino Squire |

I have them on my car. FPA headers, xpipe, QTP 2.5 cutouts,Delta flow 50's, Tailpipes. I wanted to add something a little different and this was the perfect choice. I purchased the kit with the remote option. It's a real head turner leaving a cruise night or show with them opened up! Nasty loud. I'll have to see if I have any pictures  ------------- John 75Gran Torino 4spd  |

I'll be adding them to the Tomato when the exhaust starts going together.... I'll be using the Summit 2 1/2" stainless steel kit. I'm hoping I can figure out how to open them gradually and only partially so I can "fine tune" the aggressiveness!  -------------  TV 2M8O OUT JOE 1976 Gran Torino S&H season 2-4 Clone Project Blog: http://tv2m8o.blogspot.com/ |

Joe,You can feather the remote to tailor the sound...I'm sure the regular switch will be the same. ------------- John 75Gran Torino 4spd |

Thanks for the info guys. John, how long have you had your QTP cutouts? What I'm looking for is reliability info, etc? I've read a lot of reviews and all brands seem to be about 50/50 on reliability and customer service. A lot of folks have said it's not worth the hassle. The motors burn up in them, or they will stop sealing and start to rattle. ------------- Jeff 72 base Torino (modified) 72 Gran Torino Squire |
