That looks really clean. Are there some powder coated items involved?

Sounds like the cut outs we used to make in the '50's! OMG, am I that old?

Thanks sts and everyone for the comments.

Willfulone, wiring is pretty simple. A hot, neutral and ground just need to be hooked up. There is an inline fuse that comes with the harness.

I actually painted my dumps a few months after putting them in since I had them out for the tunnel plate install. I used some Duplicolor 1200 deg. ceramic paint that looks very much like the Jet-Hot coating on the x-pipe so the match was even better than the initial install. I also used some RTV to seal better around the butterfly plate since these may leak slightly over time.

Definitely one of the most fun mods to have. Plus, you should see the reactions I get when I get revved on by ricers. One blast at a stop light with the cutouts open and they usually make a quick u-turn.
