QTP sucks balls, DMH perfromance is soooo much better.

it even says in the quicktime instructions that "should the plate start to leak or not seal properly, put some grease, such as axle greaseon the butterfly" how can this be if they dont leak?

DMH performance is a lifetime gaurantee against anything wrong, i broke mine 5 times on my own, by screwing it up, and dave sent me 5 new ones, on his tab!



and yes any exhuast other than stock is illegal, so i just choose to not run one at all, save myself the 500.oo dollar exhaust and pay multiple 50 dollar tickets!!!!!!

Nowhere in here does it say anything other than stock exhaust is illegal. If this were true, this would mean anyone who replaces an aged OEM muffler with a non OEM system at one of those shit exhaust shops (i.e. Mieneke or Auto Air Brake Muffler City) would be breaking the law.

316.272 Exhaust systems, prevention of noise.--

(1) Every motor vehicle shall at all times be equipped with an exhaust system in good working order and in constant operation, including muffler, manifold pipe, and tailpiping to prevent excessive or unusual noise. In no event shall an exhaust system allow noise at a level which exceeds a maximum decibel level to be established by regulation of the Department of Environmental Protection as provided in s. 403.061(13) in cooperation with the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. No person shall use a muffler cutout, bypass or similar device upon a vehicle on a highway.

(2) The engine and power mechanism of every motor vehicle shall be so equipped and adjusted as to prevent the escape of excessive fumes or smoke.

(3) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.
This is a state statute straight from www.flsenate.gov .
