A lot of people do this to get a car SUPER loud and when they want to can close the valves and have it normal quiet. I think this is awesome

I considered installing electric cut outs on a Corvette I previously owned, but decided against it due to the risk of problems associated with them. If you do some searching, you'll see that they commonly have problems with leaks and motors going bad, and that's with more well-known brands like QTP. I certainly wouldn't take a chance on some generic no-name electric cut outs. Manual cut outs aren't as problematic, if at all.

Having spent Lexus money to get a quiet car, I'm not inclined to spend extra to make it louder.
