DMH cutout for borla?
DMH has to be the best out there with the best customer service out there. I have had my DMH since 01 on my borla. It recently the motor crapped out a few months back. So I called them up, he said box it up adn send it him. I was like what is the cost going to be? He said dont worry about it he has never turned down anyone for warranty work that is honest with him. Way out of warranty adn still fixed it for me. I would reccommend DMH cut out for you.
As far as the wiring the cut sits on the passenger side of the car. There is a rubber body plug that is in teh spare tire well. Cut a tiny slit and feed the wire in there. Then I ran the cable along the passenger side of the car. Up threw the passenger kick panel, across the underneath of the glove box to the ashtray. Power is recieved off the cig light adn grounded the ground wire near the SIR coil.
Hope that helps ya out.

Thanks for all the info, I ordered one from DMH earlier today. I had heard some ppl post up recently that they had trouble getting a hold of him via emails, but seems like he can be reached by phone.
That is awesome that he is willing to warranty stuff outside of the period, that is not the first time I heard that he did that either.
I did not even think about the drain plug in the spare tire area, that will be perfect. But I had heard some ppl say their battery drained after a few days when they tapped into the cig power. I figure I can just tap into the same wire as my v1 since it is only like a foot away from where the cig lighter is.
Thanks for all the opinions and help guys.

When i read on other forums that DMH doesnt even respond to emails or answer the phone there warranty is useless. So having this fancy warranty isnt worth **** if the they dont respond to a warranty claim or take 2 months to fix something. Check out other forums, same thing over and over. And the cutout rattles. over by me everyone had the same issue with them as well.
you seem to be the ONLY one with issues... the couple of previous posts to this one tell the story. I don't need to read "OTHER" forums, because the one that really counts when it comes to my car "LS1TECH" seems to give me PLENTY of Positive DMH feedback minus your odd situation... It took awhile to get, but I finally received my DMH cutout today. I had talked with Dave several times on the phone and he seemed like a pleasant guy, always willing to answer my questions. He told me from the day I ordered that the borla plates were on backorder, so I wasn't in the dark the entire time.
For those who have been having trouble getting ahold of him, I called the number listed on the website and would be able to reach him most of the time. It sounds like he has some personal business that he has been trying to take care of, so he has been alittle slow at responding to emails.
Anyways it seems to be a quality piece and install was straight forward, thanks for the tips guys....its kind of amazing how much quieter the car sounds now with it closed since I had been running the open plate for so long!

Well:
DMH is .375 in. diameter, 4 yr. warranty
QTP is .5 in. diameter, 90 day warranty
So you pay more for the former, perhaps it's worth it? One thing is for sure, DMH does not run a spell checker on their website -- typos like that could indicate missed quality...
How is DMH with their 4 yr. warranty response??

How do you do THAT?! There does not seem to be any real adjustment for the driver side to come out further... Granted, it is only .375 in. needed...
I read on other forums that the sky is sometimes falling, but is it true?
Pick up the phone and call them. Email them -- see what they are like -- BEFORE YOU BUY!
That was easy.
As for a rattle, well that should be a warranty fix, if it is reality with their current revision of shipping product.

How are Summit's house brand of electric valve? Looks like 90 day warranty like QTP's -- but at $129.95 -- best price yet.

Thanks for the link, but I already knew I was not going to tap a constant 12v source. I have my V1 hardwired, so I just tapped into the same line as that and hid my switch in the ash tray.
I closed my borla up for good with the solid plate and put the Dmh in the I pipe before the axle. Much better this way. Even louder when the cutout is open and the cam sounds much lopier coming from underneath the car rather than behind it. Also won't have to readjust the tip.
I ran a DMH on my old Advanced Induction H/C 94 Z28. Quality piece and it functioned flawlessly every time I hit the switch. Sounded mean as hell too!

I'm unhappy with DMH. I heard they are awesome and such, hence that's where I had purchased mine from. Took 1 month to recieved them. After 1 week, 1 leaked. After 8 months, the other stopped working. I contacted, and was told to send back and it would be no problem. They were recieved over there on 6/1 (delivery confirmation), and here we are over 2 months later and 5 phone calls (all promising they will be sent out tomorrow), and still haven't recieved them back. Heard there was a death in the family a month ago, which i'm sorry for the loss, but I need my cutouts back <rant over>.

I have given him a break. I don't like being told "sending out tomorrow" 5 seperate times and nothings at my doorstep. Ive given my address 3 of those times. Why not be honest about it by getting my name and number and give me a call when its left the building with a tracking number? I'm not the most patient person, but i understand sh*t happens.
I ordered the cutout last tuesday. I didnt receive it yet. I talked to him monday and he said that it was shipped out on monday... I tired calling him today to see if i could get the tracking number but no answer. I hope i get it before i go to the track next weekend. I understand he lost his father and that he should take it easy but business is business.
