Found this cut-out, what do you guys think?

[turbovanman²]

We've all seen the regular ones offered but found this one, its even remote controlled.
Price is right too. I've asked what his warranty is and if he has pics of the blade and housing area.

If that turns out to be junk, I am going to get his one-

4 inch or their 3.5 inch one-

looks like a window motor, I dont think they will handle heat/water very well.

[speedfreek500]

x2 on that gm window motor,and its kinda bulky.I would deff go with the second one!

[shackwrrr]

on the second one, do they sell cheaper ones without the remote? Seems the only use for the remote is to show off at car shows. The only time I can think of that I would need to open a cutout I would be in the car anyway.

Thats better but where are they measuring the 3.5. at the flare or in the middle?

That company uses the inside diameter. If you look at the supplied Y section, it has the spacing for the blade to make it's arch without hitting the pipe. This is not true of most exhaust Y's and they require a spacer.

That's the same make I have. Regular tightening of the set screws to the shaft are required and the wires and VERY small and don't flex well. I rewired mine with some more substantial wiring over the puny phone cord stuff they used.

I use a 4" Badlanz on my car. If you back fire it will bend the plate but I'm pretty sure that is the same with all cutouts. Also, upgrade the wires that are soldered to the motor and you will be fine. He uses some pretty small gauge and they kept breaking on me with the vibrations.

i have been looking at the same set up. i want no back pressure to help my bigger compressor to spool up. If you buy please let us know how it works for you.

Thanks DJ.

I bought a 3.5" BadLanz cutout and it seems good to me, i have yet to install it. My Brother bought the summit cutout and it has worked great for him and was only like $150

The Summit ones don't come with the Y-pipe, which is why I like the Badlanz units, its complete and stainless to boot.

True not stainless but just to note the 3" cutout is on sale for $117 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-670150-1/
and the Y pipe is only $30 http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-670137/
it is a bit cheaper for someone who only has cost in mind but for the extra $25 the BadLanz one with stainless steel and stuff definitely is a great deal!

Nice, and I think Badlanz sells the stainless y-pipes seperately. Hmmmmmmmmm.

[Keito]

That Summit cutout is crazy cheap! I think I'll get it for my setup.
Simon, I bought this from Summit, http://www.summitracing.com/parts/PTE-H7239/?rtype=10
and cut it at an angle, contoured it a bit and welded it on a catless downpipe I bought for my SRT-4.
I still have the second one. Don't need to by a Y pipe.

[Ondonti]

Hot does QTP compare to badlanz?
