Default dmh

I am the proud new owner of a 3" dmh cutout, thanks to maryland speed can't wait till it gets here so i can finally hear it on my car... off road use only of course

anyone have any suggestions on how to wire it, i plan on going from the I pipe to the bottom of the ash tray, but was wondering the best route. I'm thinking through that little rubber circle next to the indentation on the pasanger side... if that makes sense...

I hope it sounds as good as i think it will

There great I LOVE it, I got it for stealth purposes and I wired mine up to right next to the tcs button, once u have the pipe there and welded it only takes about 30min to wire the thing its a pretty simple mod imo. But youll love it

There is a rubber round seal on the underside of the car, I cut a small hole in it and ran my wire up through it, under my carpet and through my center console. I put mine right above the power output.....

I put my switch in the ashtray. For wiring I used the cig lighter (the one closest to the center of the car.) I got both my power and ground from there. The thing I like too is that it's hot power all the time, so if I get into the car early in the morning, I can close it without turning the car on.

There are 2 grommets. I originally used the one directly under the rear passenger seat to route the wires to the center console. I ended up with bare wires exposed under the car since it was to close to the line of fire of the cutout. I relocated the wire to the grommet were the rear passengers feet are located. This moved the entry point forward a bit and have had no issues since.
