Basic Cut-outs?

[Psycho Mythic]

Does anyone here have any experience running the old stlye cut-outs that you have to crawl under there and remove the plate by hand? Just wanna know if their worth it, and if they seal good...

Awesome, what brand are you running and how aggrivating is it to take the plates on and off?

its pretty aggravatin. i had trouble with the gaskets leaking. I put copper gaskets and that did the trick. Alot of track out here anyhow dont allow you to open em. I think for it to be worth it id get some electric ones

Hey man, youve seen and heard my truck. i have the old wing nut setup. When they were installed i had them tack weld the bolt to the cutout. Now all i have to do is spin on the wing nut. It takes me about 90 seconds, never had any leaking. My gaskets are white and i have no marking on either of them showing any blowby. I leave them open nearly all the time, unless im going on a road trip or the old lady and i are on a date and she doesnt want to smell like exhaust.

Zach used to have an electric one on the SRT4. I can remember problems with it sealing at times because of soot build up. I think as long as you clean the butterfly every oil change or so it would probably be ok..:argh:

I ran the race ready electric cutouts, and they leaked from new, and only lasted 6 months or so before rattling apart. Did love the sound while they worked.

This is what i worry about, at least with the old-school wing nut cut-outs if they start to leak it would be a fairly easy an low-cost fix

They are the factory installed cutouts. It is held together with 4 bolts & nuts & takes 10 or 15 minutes to take apart.

So far my electrics are holding up fine. I couldn't imagine having to crawl under the truck. Electric is the way to go.
