Default Electronic Exhaust Cutouts

Does anyone have any experiance with electronic exhaust cutouts? I've heard bad things about them heating up and getting stuck (open, closed, half) and want to get a good pair that are known for good service life. What are some good brands out there. Thanks.

I don't have any first hand experience with them, but the QTP's are nice lookinng units and they make them for a lot of different cars.
