Im well aware of the scavenging effects tuned exhausts are designed to have, but the magnitude of the gains from a e-cutout are really dependent on the motor setup and how restrictive the previous exhaust is relative to the cutout.
As for DMHPerformance, my cutout endured 2 new england winters and a handful of "bottoming out" experiences. The only problem i had with it is that the electric motor is capable of torquing itself and breaking its own mounts. If you avoid from holding the switch too long to open it when its already open then you wont have that problem, otherwise you can rely on the warranty. (a warranty dmhperformance honored with no questions asked.)
