Exhaust option...maybe

So saw this youtube vid last night and looked up the product and seems to be a cheaper option for those that want more noise and not concerned with negligible/arguable hp brand exhaust companies claim. Im thinking about giving it a try. Thoughts? Recommend you skip to 8:45 for sound as the rest is just mind numbing fodder.

My only concern would be that no matter how well made they are cutouts always seem to leak eventually.

He started complaining about the drone pretty quickly. That made me instantly not consider this an option.

It sounds good, can’t wait for mine to be finished at kooks next week. The snowstorm slowed everything down a few days....

Love my Noweeds diverters, about 6k miles on them so far and no leaks. These are much higher quality than QTPs. 98% of the time I keep them closed but stay open when I’m at the track or street fighting.

All cutouts leak or rattle eventually. Even vacuum supported ones that are uber expensive.

Im not saying this isn't true, what I'm trying to figure out is why do they all eventually leak or rattle?

So I guess the uber expensive stock AFM and NPP valves are going to leak and rattle. Might as well pull those OEM valves off and throw them in the trash since the corrosive exhaust is going destroy them...
