Yeah I already have the power all I need is the sound lol. I have the corsa-catback exhaust so it barely makes a peep at cruising speeds or idle. I want that extra beefy sound to go with the muscles.

Exactly, two clamps, but one was for 3" pipe although pkg was the same on both. So welded one side. Also had to grind down trans brace bolt on drivers side, Diverter was hitting bolt, took a little extra time to dry fit. No problems so far, works excellent, and the buttons are easy to reach. I did see a pic w/one mounted in the center console.

Found that pic of the buttons installed in the console instead of under the seat.

I just can't justify spending $1,000 on this... as much as I would like to have it. I realize that they may work a little better than standard electric cutouts, but at the end of the day, open cutouts are going to sound just as loud as noweeds for more than half the price.

We all have our vices! For some these "top shelf" diverters are the way to go, and others say No Thanks. For me it was money well spent! Plenty of mods I see on the forum that for me I say No Thanks, to each their own. How I spend my money is my business, and equally how you spend your money is your business. No regrets and I highly recommend, Noweeds is a very well made product!

Agreed. Same thing goes for headers. Some stick by $1,000+ kooks/ARH headers and some stick by OBX/Stainless Power/ cheaper brands. Certainly to each his own.

If I get a little extra cash saved up, I may go for headers and long tubes w/my Noweeds??? Idk though, could be a little over the top! On the wishlist, boy that list just keeps growing and growing......
