Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have seen these things advertised for 40 years and never bought one until my teenage son had to have one. That was a lapse in judgment on my part! The cast iron is well done, but that is where this toy stops. The lightweight flapper does not and can not seal. You can see lots of daylight through it. The cable was binding from the moment we took the toy out of the box. Instructions say to secure the cable at both ends. Good luck with that! There is a nut on the pull knob end that will work fine, but there was nothing to secure the other end of the cable to the underside of the vehicle. The flapper relies completely on the strength of the cable to hold it shut. There is no gasket material at all on the pivot for the flapper. It's just a hole in both sides of the cast iron. This would make a fine whistle. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that the minute you install this toy it will have a sharp sounding exhaust leak. That is best described as an annoying tick--the same sound you get from broken header bolts or the famous worn out doughnut gasket. This toy has failure written on it from the word go. If you want a stealth cut-out, you'll have to go with the old fashioned Y pipe and bolt on cap. Do not buy the Mr. Gasket 5424 Cut-Out. My trusted exhaust shop owner tried to talk me out of it. I went so far as to buy one just to see how it works. It's a toy. Thanks to Amazon for taking it back. I wouldn't use this tripe on a tractor I didn't like.
