Default Electric Exhaust Cut Out?

Any one recommend these, and what are the typical performance gains out of these? and I am not looking at doing this soon, after I get the headers and high flow cats, programmersand all the other stuff because I know the downfall of installing one without having enough air moving through youll lose power. but what are the performance gains out of them???

Dont waste your money....if you want a cutout just get the manual ones. I paid $400 for mine and it ceized up 2 weeks after I had it, than I sent it back and got another one and that lasted maybe a month? Its a cool concept, but I think a big waste of money. You might loose a little power if anything with the lack of backpressure.

there wont be much of a performance gain, just loud as hell.

reduced backpressure = decreased power

I considered getting a manual $30 one a while back but decided against it.

I have seen people run them off of a NOS type switch so at WOT it opens up. But on our trucks it would screw with the PCM too much I think.
