What are the dimensions of the Cutouts? Total Length? Size of the opening I would need to cut? I want to put them on the 90 degree bend right before the mufflers. I'm a little nervous about putting them under the tranny and melting the rear leaf. Do you think they would fit on the 90 before the muffler?

I just installed mine a couple of weeks ago myself. I'm going to tell you, if you have a cam, this is a must mod.lol. I wasn't sure if I would like them. I was going of of what people where saying about them. Well I love them. Very easy to install. I have them open just spittle bit at red light or in town to show the Cam off. Whoever decides to get these, you will love them. Nice work Don.

after talking with a couple guys at DMH, this is sorta how i'm gonna do it. i'm using the regular round ones instead of the low-profile
and when i was under the car checking my routing options, i'm gonna tap into the straight parts of the pipes as they come down behind the diff, and the valves should sit right at the bottom edges of the trunk bin. and being that far back, they should be almost invisible from eye (or driver's seat) level

Operation is quite simple. The instructions tell you to not hold the button down more that 5 seconds. It only takes about 3 seconds to go from full open to close.....or vise versa. I think that the only risk of failure you acually have is to hold the button down and burn out the motors. Dave seems like a straight up guy and I feel he will stand behind his product regardless of what you do.
I love mine.

i asked DMH about it yesterday & (maybe it's a new feature since this thread was created) they'll stop on their own now when they reach their limits. (at least the round ones will - i'm sure the ovals are built the same way). he said now you can hold the button til your battery goes dead & the motors won't continue trying to turn farther than they're supposed to.
that was one of the biggest selling points for me... along with the 4yr warranty

i'm gonna do a similar thing and just pulled the trigger on a set this afternoon. after talking with a couple guys at DMH, this is sorta how i'm gonna do it. i'm using the regular round ones instead of the low-profile
and when i was under the car checking my routing options, i'm gonna tap into the straight parts of the pipes as they come down behind the diff, and the valves should sit right at the bottom edges of the trunk bin. and being that far back, they should be almost invisible from eye (or driver's seat) level

This is exactly what I want to do!!!!! Are you going to modify the Y pipe that come with the kit or are you doing something different to get it to do this? Did DMH suggest going with the round cutouts over the oval cutouts? I was hoping the ovals would fit like this picture to make the process easier.
i'm gonna have the shop basically build a Y off the straight sections behind the diff & then weld the flanges to the end of that. then bolt the valves on

they recommended the 2.5" round ones & not buying their y-pipes. there just ain't really room to fit their Y right there, so you'd just end up hacking it down to nothing anyway, so he threw in some flange pieces for me to use.

When you get it all together, post a picture or two. I would love to see it. Thanks for the help.
great bump, Bill!

Well, since this thread is back from the dead, I also had my DMH Low Profile Cutouts installed shortly after my last post. My neighbor cut the holes and welded the cutouts onto my B&B RT 66's in about 2 hrs. It took me about an hour to run the wire.
This is what mine look like. Love the sound of them, and they are only seen if you practically get under the car.
