I'm gonna get a borla cutout soon, and i'm wondering what brand to go with. I know i could go with the MPP2, DMH, or Q-tec cutout for Borla. I'm just wondering which is the best. I had some problems with a DMH cutout i used to have, it leaked a little. So to any of you that have Borla cutouts tell me what you got and how you like it.

 

Had a Q-tec in my '99. Worked pretty good. Didn't seal all the way, but did a pretty good job.

 

yeah i'm starting to think none of them seal up all the way. The thing i did like about the DMH is that it opened and closed fast. It took about 2-3 seconds, i think the q-tec is more like 3-5 seconds.

 

I've had a QTP cut out in my 94 for 2 years now with no problems. If you put your ear buy the tail pipe, you can hear it leaking, but you'll never hear it over the left tail pipe anyway.

 

Does this leaking cause any problems or anything?

 

Mine QTP never leaked.

 

here's another thing that i was confused about, after you put the e-cutout in place of the plate, it's the pass. side exhaust tip gonna stick out further? Since the cutout is obviously thicker than the borla plate.

 

The right tip consists of two pieces that can be adjusted in or out. Your concern is not a problem since all you do is slide the pipes inward the thickness of the e-cutout.

 

I have a QTEC. It doesnt leak,as long as you make sure its closed all the way.

I hate exhaust leaks too, so if the cutout "ticked" all the time I'd probably not even have an e-cutout.

 

ive got one from ebay and itll tick and leak a little after a while of driving but i just have to blip the switch to reclose it all the way. i drive with it open most of the time anyhow
