I had a DMH one and burnt up the wires from all the hot exhaust gas. I guess running at 140mph for 15 miles builds up a lot of heat.

Yes that would do it. He is one of the best sponsors i have dealt with. Him and his wife make almost every one of them by hand he said. Hes got a few guys that help. However he does most of it. He said they just built a new shop and he is going to hire some more help to speed things along. Good guy i like him. All i hope now is that my car is LOUD!

If u have cats it will not be really-really loud. I first had mine with stock manifolds+cats...then I removed the cats and it was twice as loud...now I have lts+ory+c/o+flowmaster and it is LOUD.

Well here we go again.....went to put in the new switch that i got....and it doesn't work...i plugged the old one back in and it doesn't work...wtf is going on. I haven't opened/closed the cutout enough to burn it out. I'm at work right now so i'm gonna pull it off to see if its working. If not DMH is getting a call from me.

You should run mid 13's stock as a rock, provided the car is running right.

naw don't sweat it.....I actually figured it out..and its working fine now...I cleaned the blade itself and put a tie on the harness where it connects with the cutout. It wasn't locking in so that coulda def. been the problem. Works like a champ now!

p.s. by putting on the cutout did you guys really feel a difference on a stock car?
