I've been researching them... and they say they are able to open from shut to full open and everywhere in between...

Yet the companies sell them with an on/off toggle switch... how do you get them to open half way or anyway other than full open ?

Also... if you can indicate whether you are satisfied with your brand/product... any leaks, sticking, etc. ?

i have the mccord.. you have to hold down the switch for it to open and close. so can open it half way if u want. i say it's kind of a pain waiting 5 seconds for it to open. i'd rather have it one touch.

i've had it for about 4 months. no leaks no sticking

A little off-topic, but I guy I know running a V8 in an RX7 is rigging his cutouts to open automaticaly on full throttle.

Not hard at all. Works just like nitrous setup. Trigger that is activated only during full throttle and a switch that will control if it opens or not during full throttle. Rig it to the cutout instead of just rigging a switch to the cutout. This is what the guy I know is doing. He put the stock RX7 exhaust back on it so you can barely tell its a V8. When he floors it the cutouts open and it roars, leaving whomever and whatever he was racing way behind.

All you really need is a pressure activated switch, switch to turn on and off the pressure switch, and a relay.
