LED is "light emitting diode", I'm guessing they light up.

Contemplating these for mine. How "sealed' are they when closed? Is there any "exhaust leak" noise around the butterfly valves?
Also wondering how often I'd have then open... do you find you have them open a lot or is it more of a novelty and rarely open. I love the concept, but concerned it would lose its appeal quickly and then seldom be used (and that's a lot of cash to have sit idle (no pun intended)).

Strongly suggest buying a hot air gun. Took me 30 seconds to heat up torx screw and 1 minute to take it off wiring was cake walk. I love this mod, well worth the money!

I ended up just going with the QTP cutouts and turned out amazing!! Much cheaper and zero issues so far. I get thumbs up wherever I go. Just be warned either is crazy loud

Had mine for years now. They quit working yesterday. And while they were open of course.
It has power so I'm assuming there is no fuse in the activator box? The box just clicks and nothing happens at the motors. No noise or nothing. |

I just received my NOWEEDS kit and the new button plate matches your finished plate. I love that they listen to customers! Will start the install this week. Will add some pics of the modified plate.

I have installed the kit on my LS3 and have had it on a few weeks and I love it.
Things I noticed about mine and I will need to add some pictures. The under the seat button mount - plate has changed shape to not interfere with the seat. I also noticed that now both actuator motors have the wire coming out of the top side to keep it up and out of the way. The hardest part was trying to cut the pipe with a Sawzall with the car only on jack stands in the garage. So I rented a exhaust pipe cutter. ( that chain with cutting wheels attached to a pair of pliers ), that cut it fast, smooth and it has a nice squared/straight cut. Also I could have added more room where the tape goes ( about 1.5 inches more ) to make it match up perfectly, it has a little gap in the middle of the rear clamp, but it seems to have sealed up just fine. My only question now is about maintenance. It is already starting to squeak a little on me when opening up. ( not sure what I can use for lubrication that will not just burn right off ) Very top notch work on this product, well worth the money. NOWeldElectronicExhaustDiverterSystem NOWEEDS Bob

I was the one who discovered that the plate flexed when you lifted the seat and made it hit that white plastic thing.

Hi PQ , Did you figure out what the problem was? I ask because I'm on year 4 with these on so just wondering whether the end is near. Were the motors toast? Also how often did you exercise the actuators i.e. open/close them ?
