How do you like yours? Brand? I have the MW type exhaust with the 3" manual cutouts and want to add the electric so I can do it remotely. Pros-cons etc?
I have QTP on my A100 .....love them. Switch is just out of the way.....not allowed them on the street. Drag strip mode is easily obtainable at will. Full stainless exhaust except for the ceramic coated headers. Also have the angled tips after the cut-out exit. Full exhaust over diff etc to Charger tips. I have heard that there are cheaper cut-outs available....but since I only intend on doing this once, I wasn't worried about buying a more expensive system.

I had been thinking about installing some as well so while researching different ones, it seems that QTP, Granetellis, Dougs are the best choices. I really like the Dougs design as it a rotary type gate. The others are a butterfly type design. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dou-dec250ak
I have Dougs on my 66 and am incorporating them on my 65 build also. Probably have ten years of use on the set on the 66. Lots of fun! Mike
I like the Doug design also as far as looks like less potential for leaky flaps but I am concerned about the size of the Dougs, much bulkier
QTP’s. Reliable for 15 years. No butterfly issues. Can’t really see them. But if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t use the Bully’s. It was more raspy without them.
I used the Summit brand cutout kit and am very happy with them I love being able to open and close them with the flip of a switch
I bought the Patriot version. One thing I like is there is no switch, they work off a remote fob. My 3" max wedge type exhaust already had the cut outs so it was a pretty simple install
Well shit, sounds like I'm going to spend another 500.00 bucks on the car now, lol. They sound great, I need a set.
My only concern was all the wire in pipe proximity. I came up thru the back seat foot area rubber floorboard plug, under carpet, and down the door sill passage on each side. That meant maybe 6” of wire under the car. Worked great. Since I have dynomat, it self seals against the wire.
I have had the Doug's on the RoadRunner for 20 years, I bought 1 of the 1st sets @ the SpringFling.. In my opinion they are the best for sealing, but are on the heavier side so I had small side supports added. The butterfly type cutouts seem to develop leaks after a few years, whereas the sliding gate of the Doug's tend to clean itself. The only thing I have had to replace was the DPDT toggle switch(made in China) supplied by Doug's, I went with a mil-spec replacement DPDT switch made in the USA. Just my $0.02....
