Electric Cutouts
I am about to put some electric cutouts on my 67 camaro convertible. I have done some searching and find 3 companies, Quicktime Performance, DMH performance, and Streetpro. There are slight design differences between them and Streetpro's version is a one peice unit that is ceramic coated. I searched the thread and found some comments on the Quicktime units. Have any of you used the other units and what is your opinion of the performance of the products. Thanks in advance for all your comments.

I had the QTP on my stroked camaro and it leaked after a while when it was 'closed'...Of course, it was usually open anyway...LOL..

My QTP has given me nothing but headaches...great when they work, but the butterfly bent and hugely leaked, so I returned them...they would not warrantee them, so I paid $80.00 or so for "new motors and plates" when installed they soon failed again, so I dissasembled them and welded a ss washer to the plate to stiffen it. they dont fold up anymore, but they still leak like a $10.00 glaspack! try someone elses system

ive got the DMH cut outs on my 67. they work good, and dont have any leaking problems yet. i think they are well worth the money if you are wanting to run open headers once in a while. sure beats getting under the car and unbolting plates.
