excellent, sounds awesome.... I would like to see a image of this, as I might do this on my Monte.... Is it the DMH low pofile cutout? Does the car seem to lose power or sluggish with it open and driving around?

Thanks, yeah i'll try to get pics asap... it's barely lower than the stock pipes, but as far as I know, DMH doesn't offer a lo-pro... QTP does, but I've heard better things about DMH and they offer a 4 year warranty. The cutout is between the res and the Y, and yep he did the wiring for me too and installed the button in the center console, if you didn't know you'd think it was supposed to be there.

DMH does indeed off a low profile cutout, as I have these installed in my GTO.

I didn't notice it being sluggish at all with it open. And thanks for the correction, didn't realize that they offered a low profile version.

He charged me $200 for everything, even though it took him longer than expected, he still charged only what he quoted me (ballpark) over the phone. I would have been happy to give him a little more, but he definitely earned my future business, so I feel like that will make up for it.

I don't see the low-profile on the website though:

basically a cutout or dump pipe bypasses the muffler and depending where its put it shortens the travel for the exhaust.

Makes the car sound like a stock car almost.

Thanks Rick!

And bh, your questions are not dumb, but I kind of lol'ed when you said, "should I get one?" It's not really a should/shouldn't, more of a want/don't want
