I just got the same one looked the same like it had a leak but i turned it on just to check if ot works and the valves closed all the way. Seems for me the problem was they dont come closed all the way. But for sur no leak on mine. You should of just turned it on and close it
Thanks for the review, the ones I’m ordering is the dual to go around the mufflers to just bypass them when needed.. wondering now if the air gaps will effect the sound now.. thinking about them now,,Thanks for sharing this with us
Bought it, money worked great. Had it on for 3 months and now yesterday it wont open. I can hear the relay when i hit the button. So i took the motor off and the valves move freely and the gears arent broken. But when i hit close the motor spins. When i hit open it does nothing then i hit close again and it spins to close again even though it never moved. Wtf
With the negative pressure or whatever it's called, wouldn't the gasses flow with the rest? As the valve is deep in the exhaust system, any escaping in that gap would be very quiet as it still has to travel down the pipe which would be connected to it? Unless you just whacked it on as is.. but then you'd get fumes seeping into the cabin ending an exhaust under the car body. I'm just guessing as I don't know much about this
@@Wrenchingwithray just bought a “Spelab” brand 3 inch cutout and it has no gaps and no light passes through the seal. The flap has a beveled edge. I’ve heard people say theirs doesn’t close under load but this motor seems very strong I can’t imagine it having an issue closing unless I was really on the gas. and worst case and I’ll just close it while in neutral.
That's going to be an exhaust leak. Dude you're using a cut out... The valve needs to move...... Obviously if it's to damn right any carbon will make it stick... Also doing a cut out who the fuck cares about the sound of a leak, you're just making a massive ass leak on purpose.
@@Wrenchingwithrayhow bad would it be? I was looking at the exact same thing on Amazon, figured I should look up reviews on RUclips and this the first video I find.

I did close it, this one was just poor quality but I am sure they are hit and miss on quality

No problem, hate to see anyone else get disappointed
I'm not sure if you are going to find one that 100% seals but it would have helped if it had some seats for the plate to stop on.
Ya agree but dam that one is bad lol
@@Wrenchingwithray Might have had a slight leak.
I have this on my 5.7 Hemi Dodge Ram since yesterday and for now i am realy happy with it.
They are hit and miss on quality, I just got a bad one I think

Well that definitely sucks

It may have worked ok but would definitely leak, was just bad craftsman ship and poor quality control in my opinion.
Gap might close up after some exhaust soot
Ya probably lol
Not purchasing a similar one I saw earlier today after watching this video so thank you
Glad to help!

So you want it to sound like crap when it's closed? Open I get but when it's closed who wants it to sound like a POS because of an exhaust leak lol
Are you going to look for another brand elsewhere?
Ya probably
what brand did you end up buying?
Nothing yet, there are some more expensive one's that have good reviews
@@Wrenchingwithray badlandz is affordable and seems legit 5yr warranty made in usa
@@user-ik4br3nk2w I will check it out thanks!
Lol you know that electric cutouts are never leak proof
Surely not that bad though
@@WrenchingwithrayI'll let you know how bad it leaks I'm running true duals at the header pipe just before the cats
@@ShadowBoss0001 awesome 👍
@@ShadowBoss0001any update?
That not an issue really but ok
Would definitely cause an exhaust leak

@@LowNSlow5.3 honestly I think it would be pretty bad leak, maybe I just got a bad one but that would sound terrible
