Just installed a pair of qtec electric exhaust cutouts on my 66 and it works real sweet. at a stop light open them up stab it to the floor and it sounds like all hell is breaking lose, hit the botton and all is quiet. easy to install.

How much did those run and where did you get them? I'm going to be putting some on the 70 when I get the motor in, but kind of ruled out electric cutouts because of the cost.

www.Qtec.com (http://www.Qtec.com) is were you get them. cost $340.00 but that is with the dumps, cutout valves, cables everything you need.

I got those the other day for my 540 even through the mufflers my car scares the rice so I cant wait to see the look on there face now. Cost me $295

Where did you get yours from dog? For future reference.

i have heard that cutouts (ones that open and close) tend to leak. Any probs with that?

Yes they leak a little and drip a little condensation but still worth it. I installed them after the H pipe out of sight looks clean. Opens and closes in 4.5 seconds.

They do leak a little, I tried the RTV on the butterfly like the owner asked me to do with no success. It's still better then manually unbolting the cutout twice a week! Here is a shot of how I did mine with the DR. Gas X-pipe:

Qtec just like conroy they have the best product and the cheapest. Jegs has a manual one where you pull a cable but electric is the way to go..They were $295 b/c I had the dumps so all that I bought were the electric cutouts, wiring, and switch.

That link didn't work for me....this one did though...

I got mine through

And yes they do leak a little, but are about the coolest thing Ive got for her!!!!! Nothing like being able to have open heads at a flip of a switch! And I beleive Mccord sells them the cheapest.

How bad is the leak? Is it really noticeable? It's not like an annoying header tick is it?

Thanks!
