Have you done a searsh? They're generally good for around 10 hp. QTP is the most popular.

Re: electric cut-out ???

I have the QTP and am pretty satisfied. It leaks a bit when closed but to be honest the only time I ever close is it to show people what it is. Besides that its always open. Also the QTP couldnt get any easier to install, really a breeze. I couldnt feel any power difference but Ive heard people say dynoed they get between 5 and 15 horse.

Re: electric cut-out ???

that is probably for just the cutout...the electric part is an add on plate, with a butterfly and a motor. flip of a switch and you open it.

otherwise you have to crawl under the car.

cutouts are good for 5-15hp, depending on the flow nature of the muffler you're bypassing.

this guys gained 15hp over an aftermarket Flowmaster!! which is pretty pathetic for flowmaster to be robing that much power.
