Default Whyeeeh!

Jonathan;
I can see why some folks might think this is cool in a James-Bondish kinda way but I suggest that you don't use it. I can't see any good comming from it and I can't imagine the car running right on open exhaust when the thing is tuned for a closed exhaust.

Also where are you going to port those hot gasses ... a separate tail pipe system? The whole thing smells kludge.

Or you could throw it in the center console. I would recommend my first idea and move the alarm piece.

I'd mount it inconspicuously to the seat rail perhaps. BUT...I also agree with a previous poster...I wouldn't use a product like that in the first place.

I'd think you could run it through the floorboard. On mine, the driver side storage is taken up by the ABS unit, so I'm sure I could route through there.

Another thought would be inside of the console. You'ld easily run the cable through the base of it.

Good luck
