I've had 2 sets of the butterfly type cut-outs, (neither of them were Jeg's) and they both leaked.
I put on a set of Doug's a few years ago and had no leaks at all. The Doug's only have 2 problems; they are big and they are expensive.
Master, again and still

I have dougs also. I had them on for about a week and one of the motors stopped closing. They send out a new one from california-7 day wait. Put the new one on and it worked for 2-3 weeks and then the same thing. Send a new one- another 7 day wait. Put new one on as I was going to go racing that night, broke instantly. Then I sent in the entire assembly (7days there and 7 days back)bc they said it was probably out of spec. Comes back and works fine until 2 weekends ago, it only opens 1/4 of the way and then finally stops working at all. Email them July 9th (at 5 am my time) through their website which states a 48 hour window to reply to you. I got that reply on July 15th at 5:20 pm. He says to call in and I do and they want a copy of my receipt. I send it instantly and then hear nothing, sent another email and still nothing. Call up and the person says I saw the second email but not one with a receipt attached. I send it again and they say ok, send it back( july 19th at 530). So I go to drop it off at UPS (like the first time i sent in the whole assembly) except I get to pay the 15 bucks in shipping that will take 6-7 days to get to them. Then hopefully they just give me a new one this time bc my one year warranty will run out in august. Basically I've had them for almost a year and they will be inoperable for over 2 months of that... on a car that I don't even drive that much either. frustrating week for me with cars (see my 4 speed thread). I will say that the driver side has worked flawlessly, but the passenger side one sucked. Luck of the draw I guess.

That is bizarre, I would be pissed for sure. I know the timeframe sucks but at least they are standing behind their product. Knock on wood, mine have been fine since day one. I will say this, when they work they are fun. Most of my driving is done with the cutouts wide open. I close them when I feel I have to or when I'm afraid I'll be waking the neighbors.
Same for me, later at night or through a neighborhood I shut them. That and when I see a cop flying up behind me. Hope they just send a new one, especially hearing nobody else is having problems. Especially after 6-7 yrs of owning them. When they work, it's awesome!

I got mine from Dougs, not cheap but they don't leak and they have held up well. You can see/hear them in the video

Hard to tell with all the "wind" noise from the exhaust. What are the specs of your exhaust? Jim
An actually video camera instead of my phone would be an improvement. I have 1.75 headman elite headers that were coated with a thermal barrier in and out by Loko, the dumps are 3" right after the collector. The rest of the exhaust is 2 1/2 so it gets pretty quiet when you close the dumps. I think the mufflers are dynomax super turbos
