Electric exhaust cut outs........

I'm looking into a set of these.

I know some of the things to look out for are:
1) Better Design (water proof Motors/Casings).
2) Steel Gear sets.

I'm looking into the following brand on e-bay:

"BadlanzHPE Electric Exhaust Cutout Cutouts"

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Badla...Q5fAccessories

Do any of you have these on your Triuck?
I know its not an "essential" piece of equipment,
but I thought that since I'm having my exhaust "Tucked" up into the Frame,
I'd have a set of these installed.

Any experiences, good or bad, video, pictures, Opinions ,
would be appreciated..

Re: Electric exhaust cut outs........

heres some im going to put on my c-10---We are happy to announced the New and Improved version of our popular all stainless steel electric exhaust cut-outs in 2 1/2” and 3” diameters. Our engineers at Doug’s have taken the famous electric exhaust cut-outs and dramatically decreased the size for more versatile installations while lowering the price as well.


These cut-outs feature a rugged gear reduction 12 volt DC motor and a rotating gate for a leak proof seal every time the cut-out is opened and closed. Unlike butterfly style cut-outs the Doug’s cut-outs don’t have the leaky gasket sound and when fully opened there is no exhaust flow obstructions.

A pre-wired harness with an illuminated rocker switch is supplied for easy installation. Un-cork your exhaust with the flip of a switch from you dash. The cut –outs are ideal for race tracks that don’t require mufflers. These Doug’s cut-outs are available in singles or pairs and in complete kits with Y-Pipes for easy installation

Re: Electric exhaust cut outs........

WOW!
I liked these until I saw the price. Jegs has them listed for $650.00!!!

I want Electric Cut-Outs, but not THAT bad.
I think I'll stick with QTP or Badlanz.
Your lookin at about $264.00 - $360.00 for a set of 2.

No offense ffk...

Besides I just heard a set of these in person at "The Shop" today.
Its like uncorkin your headers with the touch of a button!

Re: Electric exhaust cut outs........

I had a set of these :

http://www.dmhperformance.com/

on a previous project. Really high quality - had some delivery problems (small, private shop) and got dropped by the big mail-order guys. Take a look. You'll be impressed.

OK guys. It looks like most of you at one point or another have used eaither:
QTP Brand
Badlanz Brand
DMH Brand

I was leaning towards the Badlanz, because they also sell replacement motors/pWirring Parts ect, and have a 5 year Warranty.
Since I already have a set of Jegs "Y-Pipes", I can just get the set of
Cut-Outs for $270.00 and shipped free, insted of the $365.00
(includes Y-Pipes)..

Thoughts?

Re: Electric exhaust cut outs........

The Shop that's doing my Exhaust is using "V-Band Clamps".
These things are Awesome, and no more worring about Gaskets!
Its like a Pressure fit with grooves cut and made out of Stainles Steel.
