Incidentally, I love my QTP/Ti setup. I bought my QTP's when the only other option available was McCord and their quality was not good at all.

I love my DMH low profiles. We will see how good their warranty is. I lost a motor about 2 weeks back. The bolts backed out and the motor broke off the flap shaft.
Ripped the plugs off the wires as well.
The idea of open and closed on demand is the greatest thing since sliced bread

I just got off the phone with the DMH folks... How did they handle my question about the warranty claim on the one I have?
Simple: "Box them up and ship them us with a return address. We will get them repaired/replaced as need be, Thanks".
And these are just over a year old.
Now I know the money spent was worth it
Oh, and with regard to Pros & Cons:
Cons: If you dump the exhaust under the car, you will eventually oven bake your rear leaf spring and it will fail/degrade to the point o f collapse, so I would not run them open very often if I still had the leaf spring. Also dumping the exhaust under the car will overheat your transmission on a hot Texas summer afternoon at the road course (Don't ask how I know
).Pros: If you come across a local "spit n polish" car show in a Starbucks parking lot, just roll up with the cutous open and see how many latte mocha poofta's you can spill and how many alarms you can set off

You really have only 2 choices, the tradition under the tranny position, or do something custom/creative like the ones illustrated above with the Ti mufflers, so that it dumps the hot gasses close to the rear of the car.
I like that setup, but put up wth the compromise of the traditional location and not running them 100% open all day.

Just dont run it open all the time
Be selective. Occasional use is probably not going to fry the spring or tranny.
I just make a point of not running WOT at the track with it open all day is all.
