Bruh 😂 you're talking about reliability after having it for 4 months. Thats like buying a car and saying "it has 2,000 miles and its reliable so far!"

[@EVO1087R]

Changing oil is a pain in the ass. Spraying some lube...once in awhile..nbd

[@rokkero564]

I pulled the trigger and got it I had it installed on my truck last week and don’t regret it one bit, it sounds fucking amazing.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Its hard to explain until you have one installed but you and I know its one of the coolest damn mods ever!!!

[@bigchungus1378]

How much was it?

[@iliraliko1510]

Fernando Perez does it leak any sound? I have a v8 Lexus and plan on putting one in each of my stock headers and then run some tubes to my muffler delete, and put one more in my muffler delete so that I can have stock, muffler delete, and full flowing when I want.. please let me know if they leak any noise at all

[@BigfootWeekly]

Hey man, love your channel. I own a 2010 Ram R/T and binge watched your channel...barely made it to work the next day. Keep up the good work.

[@philmagill6171]

I’ve got the same setup, and love it on my ‘14 1500. The only issue I found, is that the flap doesn’t seal 100% perfectly... so there is a little bit of fume leak. So I took of the turn-down, and had a muffler shop stick on about 3-4’ of pipe to get it more rearward. Other than that, it’s AWESOME! :-)

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I love it! Mine hasn't showed signs of leaking yet fortunately!

[@tintdr]

Hows it sound with the added 3 to 4 ft? And is it straight back or did you have them bend it down towards the ground Phil Magill

[@tintdr]

Just ordered mine

[@bazz2438]

Regularly opening and closing them every 100 miles or so helps keep them freely moving from carbon build up. Like you said in the video spray them with wd40, but should also spray them with break cleaner once a month to remove build up. It sounds like alot of maintenance, but not really, opening and closing, as well as spraying them down with brake cleaner once a month really isn't that difficult. A few seconds of spraying is a good trade off. Love the idea of a cut out, like my truck to be quiet most of the time (as well as the fact basically straight piping on demand is louder than an aftermarket exhaust)especially at 5am leaving for work lol joke about hating neighbors all we want, but as much as I love loud engines, I'm not such a fan myself at that hour lol Edit The common complaint of creating an exhaust leak over time is often the cause of said carbon build up, preventing the valve from completely closing, another reason to clean with brake cleaner even when it's still turning freely.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

Mine works great on my old VW diesel , and it's a coal roller. Can't say I've had to clean the seat since I got it years ago but I've lubed if up a few times.

[@davemikulyuk9120]

do they seal good when in the closed position or do you hear an annoying exhaust leak ?

[@taylorswiftnumberon1]

I bought some of the cheap-o-eBay $120.00 cutouts… leaked and rattled…simple fix cured the leak and rattle…grease the perimeter of the butterfly flap get some permatex high temp sealant #81878 put the sealant on the seat where flap meets seat. Shut the valve and leave for 24 hours. It actually makes a seal and the grease will keep the flap from sticking to the sealant…worked for me.

[@LuisHernandez-fm9pb]

You think it will still work even though you go through a river and its high enough to be over the wheels. Im jus saying if its waterproof

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Thanks for the info Brother been looking at this brand cutout

[@Whyouwannaknow]

Did you ever hear a rattle noise when you installed them? If so what did you do to eliminate the small rattle noise? If not what do you suggest I do to quiet the rattle?

[@Dan.A.]

Is it crazy loud with the cutouts open? Have you done a decibel comparison?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah it's basically straight pipes with it open and is loud AF! I don't have anything to do a db measurement but it's LOUD 😎

[@bigcheese82]

How are they holding up in 2021?

[@mikcun2799]

Was thinking the same for my 6.6l gas 2500hd.

[@Itschaboylamari]

I think it last a year or two gives you enough time to get a cat back exhaust system or have money to change the pipe

[@johns9232]

So basically this does the same thing the factory dual mode exhaust does, so I'm assuming leaving the rest of the exhaust stock there is enough back pressure running these and also hopefully car won't throw codes?

[@BenjaminHundred]

About how much total was the install? Thinking of having an exhaust shop install it for me. Would be such an awesome feature

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Its about $400-$500 for the complete bolt on kit with wireless remotes. About $100 less without wireless

[@Alecvee1]

@@BoostedMotorsports for mine it was $300 to purchase and $62 to install 2.5inch cutout

Good to here i just installed one

[@bigcheese82]

Could you use this in line as an exhaust silencer if you were to open up the disc? Or reduce my twin 3" system to 2"

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah you could re-route it to just about anything

[@joe112000]

I had one in my Camaro and my bro had one in his trans am, after a while they start to leak and working. :-/

Damn hopefully mine doesn't start leaking but so far so good!

[@tomlim4749]

My QTP Died after 2 years and i replaced it with brand new kit and that lasted 1.5 yr. I tried other brand's but it was the same. I think cutouts in general don't last long

[@thefirmament1616]

for the price. 1.5 to 2yrs is great in my opinion.. 200 bucks for a new motor and your good to go again.. thanks for posting your results

[@tomlim4749]

@@thefirmament1616 And also I don't recommend the QTP remote controlled version since that module dies out often too.

[@bagginn]

@@tomlim4749 which company would you recommend for a remote controlled cut out then?

@@bagginn I wouldn't recommend any. You just have to accept the fact that they wont last long term.

Most die so quick because of the over torquing from the electronic mechanism - Granatelli’s has lasted me over 2 years without trouble I highly recommend it but I’ll keep you updated

Hows it holding up now?

[@monther.c7]

I'm planning to install it to my c7, u recommend any brand?

[@nickhaderski7445]

I know this video is old now but does the Qtp add aggressive exhaust sounds or do you have to purchase a new loud exhaust different from your stock one and then install it to make the new loud exhaust loud and quiet thanks

[@MrChrisWyllie]

You cut a hole on your existing exhaust and weld this kit on. Then, it bypasses your muffler and makes it stupid loud. All engines are w/o mufflers.

[@colin9429]

WD-40 is a degresser sooo why use that?

[@EamonnSeoigh]

It’s also a penetrant which is it’s primary characteristic.

[@Chris46315]

Only question I have, do you think it will last in colder climates

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Yeah I don't foresee see any issue!

[@horse834]

What about climate were salt and sand are used? Guessing you would just have to keep up on the oiling maintenance?

[@coryminix4757]

Lube regularly and run your car through a carwash with an underbody wash option once a week

[@MrMattMohler]

I've been through afew, they don't last more than a couple years. But that's what I get for going cheap...

[@GlenWatson]

Mine didn't last a year. And that's under 2000 miles. Disappointed.

[@MrMattMohler]

@@GlenWatson They do not last at all.... I tried a newer kind and it didn't last a month. And the way it was designed, it wasn't serviceable and I had to have it cutt out and re welded. But I really like the loud option, so I do what I have to...

Is legal or not?

Badlanzhpe. They stand by their cutouts. No rattles or leaks.

[@einstein3509]

will it work on an EV car?? 🙂

[@instrumentalbeats805]

Won't the offect the pressure in the exhaust system and possibly confuse the computer system?

[@PressurePlayerStudio]

its behind the o2 sensor...

[@manojmanu827]

Hey is it safer in winters?

[@orlandojohnson5742]

Don’t understand how that matters!? You run the engine long enough the exhaust has to get warm!? Maybe open & close after the warm up during the cold season? Most are installing before the mufflers….. it’s warmer there.

[@laverdieremath]

Hi sir, love your videos. Quick question, can you stop it midway through the sequence or is it fully open and fully closed only?

[@marksalvoni1561]

yea you can stop it at any point

[@sethfulton7011]

from what i’ve seen, only the QTP offers the ability to stop the valve opening at any point. all the other ones i’ve seen are either fully opened or fully closed

[@patrickwilson6383]

Hey there. I’m getting some misinformation and only you can set it straight. I’m looking into getting a electric cut out but talking with the summit racing store where I was buying it the tech told me it would throw a check engine light without a tune due to loss of back pressure. What are your thoughts on the matter?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Lies! No issues and no CEL. Go for it! 👍😎

[@patrickwilson6383]

🤘Taking the carven off on Friday and putting 18 inch magnaflow on. Got hate mail from the the neighbors and they are holding my trash cans hostage.

[@qualitycontrol5421]

You will not get a cel if you install the cutout after the catalytic converter.

[@coryminix4757]

Depends on the car and where in your exhaust system you install them

cutouts are cheaper than exhaust tickets

They are better than a full exhaust.... You can go stock, or straight header with the flip of a switch for a 1/3 of the cost.
