Default Doug's Headers Electric Cutout

Decided to install an electric cutout in my single exhaust so I can bypass my muffer. My exhaust has stock cats and Y-pipe and the goes to a 3" Doug's Headers electric cutout, I bought a Walker quietflow muffler (I think it was #22673) It has a 3" inlet and outlet. Its shorter in length than the stock muffler and surprisingly quieter than the stock one. After the muffler It goes to a 4" tailpipe with no resonator.

After installing it I took it for a ride and it worked great. I got home and tried it in the driveway and the cutout would not open. ($#!T) I could hear the motor trying to open but it wouldn't. I took the cutout off, dissasembled it and found nothing wrong with it. I reassembled it and now it works fine.?? I don't know if this is a known problem with these cutouts or not but I can say that when its in the closed position there is no ticking/leaking sounds like some of the butterfly style. The sound isn't obnoxious like a full dump. I'll see if I can get a sound clip up this weekend.

wow........ I'll update this. My electric cutout failed shortly after installing it. Come to find out the Gearbox has one nylon gear which was stripped. Expensive for such a poor design.
