I bought my DSM , low profiles for I think $300, can't remember, might have been less, I paid $125 to have them welded in. I love them, and they also made me 1o extra ponies.

Bought mine from TPSmotorsports for $385. My neighbor is going to weld them on for free. DMH are great cutouts but they take A LONG TIME to get them. I'm having them welded on the 90 degree bend just prior to the mufflers so they're not under the car and heating the tranny.
good luck.
good luck.

Nothing but positive reviews on these it seems. I wonder why more people don't do this mod instead of paying $800 plus for a cat back? My car came came with a catback and I just added LT's. I was thinking of doing a 3" catback but for the price I think I'm going with these cutouts.

With that being said, I love my SLP Powerflo exhaust. Not too loud, and I don't have to worry about anything.

I have had a lot of people tell me how good it sounds, 70 year old at the parts house a while back was smiling ear to ear and said man that thing sounds good, thanks grandpa!

pictures with an automatic
I have been considering installing the cut outs on my 99 automatic. Any pictures and installations tips for location on an automatic with a Corsa X pipe. I have seen advertisements for a remote control unit that is not hard wired. Anyone using the remote control type cut outs.

I know the cutouts pictured above have a slight downturn pipe. I just wonder about heat issues with the tranny and gas tank nearby.
Obviously, sitting in traffic, you'd close them to avoid heat issues. Anybody with impressions of long term use and heat problems?

I considered those at one time, but started thinking of the fumes, soot under car and possible leaks and wires burning. My vette is a daily driver so decided to save up for cat back system ....but I still think thats a cool mod for the money

.Thanks for the info. I was just thinking that in stop and go, traffic gridlock, maybe close them. Otherwise, leave them on and menacingly creep up on people. Might scare them into another lane.

Just an FYI
There is a price increase on these DMH cutouts coming soon.
We still have them for 399.99 shipped
There is an average of 2-3 week lead time right now as DMH can not make them fast enough to keep up with the orders.
You can order here
http://shop.doubledmods.com/searchqu...c?keywords=dmh
looking at somewhere around 429.99 after this shipped when new price increase comes along shortly.
