Is this just one specific brand, or ? I've been considering purchasing one, and really don't care to buy a POS.</TD></TR></TABLE>

i havent heard of any worth buying. the environment is waaay to harsh for a simple butterfly valve.

honda used a titanium rotary style valve for the CBR954RR. look up HTEV if you're interested. but it only partially closes for tuning the motor's backpressure

The mccords ive heard are not really built well. I have 2 quicktime performance cutouts and they work perfect, they do leak a little, but thats why they say to put some red RTV on it. I used hondabond on mine and they work perfect with it.

 

nice

I used the one from QuickTime and the had it mounted as in the pic I posted. I didn't mind the fact that the unit didn't seal fully but on two occasions the actual housing where the motor sits came loose due to the vibration I guess. Thus the motor would fall apart and that was the end of that.

These are great ideas to run but the reliability factor just wasn't there for me. </TD></TR></TABLE>

So the bolts that hold it onto the pipe came loose? and thats why it vibrated and messed it up?

Sounds like you need some locktite and more muscle onto the bolts.

 

e cut outs SUCK .... usually in cooler/winter conditions.
ive read about many of them breaking/falling apart just from these harsher conditions. this info has come from many car owners w/ various models of cars.

if you dont have to deal with cold (32 deg or lower) temps, snow/salt then the chances of failure are much less but if you do.. dont count on it lasting too long.
I imagine getting wet from rain cant help either

 

sounds like we should be ok, in the middle of the desert

 

I wonder if it would help to put the ecutout after the flex section. That would absorb some of the vibration and could possibly add some life to the ecutout.

looks nice , i like how you made the flow optimal to the cut-out and not the skinny exhaust like a lot of cutouts you see.

 

i thought the o2 sensor has to be before the e-cutout??

Well when you're WOT it goes into closed loop--the o2 isn't used.
