I am sure someone has some info on this because I am not the only guy with this problem...2012 Suburban, 35's, 6" lift, couple of inches of lift on the body...not sure how much exactly...

Want to put an electric Y-Pipe on my exhaust, affordable and dependable...Girlfriend will not go for the loud exhaust I had on previous wheels (Flowmaster Super 40 Cat-Back on a 2012 charger and 2007 Ram 1500). So basically, I need an easy to install, affordable Y pipe and some suggestions on how to make this Suburban purr...and roar when the time is right.

PS this is a DIY - I can do everything myself but weld so I will either get a cat back kit after the electricY-Pipe, or piece together with clamps...wiring it and all that is the easy part...former electricians assistant...

I would recommend the cutouts from Dougs Headers. I've read good things about these online and they seem to be a better design than most.

Here is a link to this cutout:

My brother had QuickTime cutouts in his car for about 10 years. He really liked them but they weren't perfectly reliable. He had the motor go out one and he had to sent it back to get rebuilt. Water got into the motor because the seal wasn't great and they rebuilt it for a cost with their updated design. This was in a desert climate too, not an area with much rain.

He always had issues with them not sealing well. From what I've read online the butterfly style cutout valves all do this (most electronic cutouts are this design). When they don't seal you will have a bit of a rattle sound and/or an exhaust leak noise.
