raceland durability

[badfish888]

Well ive had my cutout for a few months now, (febuaryish) and so far, the cut out works fine, the key fob...every oce in a while i will have to push the **** out of it to get the blue light to come on and actuatel the cut out. But it always works. WHen i open the cutout it makes a metalic (ping) lige the valve is stuck. Only from closed to open, never when i close it. The sweet shiney finish did not last long at all, Maybe 3 weeks. Its still smooth and not rusted, but it turned a dark yellow/brown color. And it seems no matter how hard i tighten the band clamps, the front will slide back off the trucks pipe and it will leak. ( there was no gap when installed it) i cut it short and pulled the pipes apart so it would seal better. so i dunno wtf is going on? Maybe a little tack weld to hold it better idk?



So does this compare to any one elses raceland?

i have had good luck with mine. i am coming up on 2years of having it. only issues i have had was the seal to the motor wore out and allowed water to get it. seized up the motor about a month or 2 ago. which isnt a big deal to me, its the nature of exhaust...
I just took it all apart, cleaned, sanded, and lubed everything and works fine. may take an extra click to open or close but it works. I recomend checking how the seal is on the motor every couple months.
