Default Best bang for cutouts?

I realized that when I get home from work, it's about 2 am. And out of respect for the people next to me I think cutouts would be a good idea so I don't disrupt anyone's sleep. Does anyone on here have cutouts and can give an update on how well it has worked for them? I don't mind spending money for a good set but I found thats QTP's cutouts motor is a cheap 15$ motor. And on badlandz warrenty page it says that you basically cannot open the cutouts when the car is on cause it WILL void the warrenty. I just want a trouble free cutout, is there any company that sells them for a decent price with a decent warrenty?

I do not have cutouts on my GS, but they are on my E92 M3. They are QTP cutouts and have them on for little over a year now, with content opening and closing (while moving) and no issues.

Can someone tell me what "cutouts" mean exactly?

Something that allows you to bypass resonators, cats, and mufflers in your exhaust system, effectively giving you a straight pipe exhaust. (depending on where you put them) These are on motorized flaps so that you can choose when to bypass everything or keep your car quiet.
