Default Electric cutout longevity

Searched and found some good threads on electric cutouts. However, did not bring up anything about longevity or long term performance. Any issues with the QTP brand with regards to gate or seal breaking down? Anything else to consider?

Thanks ahead of time for any response.

I have the QTP's installed on my car, have about 5k miles on them so far including 2k from a trip to daytona beach. Have had no trouble with leaking or anything as of yet!! Great product and tons of fun IMO, being able to choose the pitch of your exhaust is a for me! Good Luck with your decision
