Default E-Cutout users

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.
