I've had their electric cutouts for a couple of years. They install easy and work well and the price is reasonable also. Doug Thorley also make electric cutouts and my cousin has used them. They are not as easy to install but they work well. _________________ 1979 El Camino\r\n1955 Chevrolet Del Ray\r\n1962 Corvette\r\n1966 Corvette Coupe
I like a loud exhaust too, but I'm going with Hooker headers, 2.5" exhaust with Flowmasters, and strait out the back. Cut-out are just too loud for me.

Headers, electric switch cutouts, and straight out through glass-packs...

That' basically my setup. Except I used Chambered Exhaust mufflers instead of glass pack.
I grew up being told that running just headers is bad for the valves,
the heads are a mute point. _________________ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

If you were to run open headers all the time, yeah that would be bad for the vavles. But with the electric cutout plates its usually just once in a while (for me anyway). Maybe at the track or I feel like waking the neighborhood.
