It might be illegal here in NC too, but they don't put the car on a lift to check. They just use a little mirror on a stick...and that isn't going to show them the middle part of my car.

Coming from a liberal school and a background in marine biology, I tend to be more concerned with the environment than many on this board. I however see little wrong with these cutouts since they don't by-pass the cats. It's just noise pollution, and that I can live with.


Hayman, I ended up buying my set of DMH's from Maryland Speed because they were selling them for the same price you offered and free shipping. The only difference between them and you is they are insured should I have any problems with the setup. For you to sell those cutouts, I would think you would have to sell them near $375 and free shipping (that is only a 6% savings over Maryland Speed). Good luck with the sale though! :nod:

Just curious guys, but I opened my box of DMH stuff and noticed that the button/switch appears to be broken? Just curious what those two little metal pieces are and whether they are supposed to be floating around seperately in the box or not.
I'm thinking not since they are so small...I almost threw them out with the box.

Thanks,

They are probably the contacts from inside that rocker switch. There are no loose parts in the kit that are suppose to be like that.

Exhaust systems are usually aluminized-steel. This fights corrosion better.
