where do you think the company got their name from? Maybe one of their pot smoking employees forgot where he put his stash

I'd set some mouse traps.

Packing material the cutouts came in.

For a grand, they send them nice and padded.

Did you remove the center resonator? If so, you're going to need an X or H pipe there to restore the torque loss. That big resonator has a crossover function that is critical to low end torque.

the pipes came in plastic bags .the reses are still on the car and the mufflers where deleted .cant see where mice could get in with the car cover covering the tailpipes at all times ..does anybody know whats inside of the reses .i know that someone on here posted pictures of the insulation in the mufflers .would it be the same material in the reses .im not sure what it can be .

camarossrs2150 · 01-30-2012, 07:32 AM

did some reading reses should be hollow with no insulation .maybe mice are bringing it from some where else .im not sure . im going to call noweeds today to see if they packed anything inside there pipes .

buzzy56 · 01-30-2012, 08:22 AM

That looks like de-con residue mixed with insulation.Did you put out de-con?

Woah! I just checked out this thread-

During manufacturing our diverter gets polished inside and out with a vibratory polisher/rinsed out with water and then it goes into a sealed plastic bag immedeately after assembly.We use no insulation or packaging other than sheets of paper between the clear plastic bags. This appears to be a muffler back problem.

For those that are asking about the company name- its an acronym.
NO Weld Electronic Exhaust Diverter Systems.

2nd the mouse traps post, they get into the firewall near the dash and make a mess. Hopefully the wiring stays in tact or youll have more problems

techinny · 01-30-2012, 05:33 PM

I took my engine cover off so they could not hide under it, and did not put a cover on the car so there would still be some light to deter them. It has worked so far, but the mice chewed a hole in the wife's car cover so they could sit on the right hand wiper, even with Bounce dryer sheets all over the place.

i checked every where and no signs of mice

Dude. Seriously, GM assemblers left the packaging in the cylinders by mistake.

It was a Friday, or Monday (in Oshawa) when they assembled your motor.

Have you ever been to Oshawa? Nothing to do but

at a bar in Pickering.
