Default DMH low pro install

This is our sales manager Eric's 05 V we recently installed DMH low profile cutouts on. The car has Kook's w/ offroad mids, K&N intake, Borla catback and AMS Tune. We did not expect any power gains due to the true dual exhaust on the V, but instead wanted the option to cruise in peace or wake up the town at the push of a button :smile:

as you can see with fitment, porting & tig welding our fab department really puts in the extra effort to be certain we have a nice clean fit and properly installed cutouts

enjoy the pics

Don't really understand why it would take 6 hrs for this, really isn't that difficult, my welds don't look nearly as nice though. Product is awesome though, can't say enough about the cutouts. I've been running them for over 9 months and they've worked perfect everytime.
I finally got a sound clip of them, Coated PaceSetters, no cats, completely stock after that:

That's some HIGH QUALITY WELDING my friend. Those are the types of welds that I'd wanna show off rather than hide out. I had a buddy's dad do some welding on my old bike exhaust and we did a stretch of a Sportster "peanut" tank. After I saw what 45yrs as a Union Pipefitter's welding looked like I stripped all the paint off the tank and had him weld up all the seams and shot a clear over it. I had every intention of taking the Wide Glide another direction but seeing the work I was "inspired".
