Also note how they changed how the cable that comes out the actuators, it now comes out of the top of both of them .

Guessing that they listen to their customers ( and also read these forums ).

Still have not. They just started working when Steve told me how to jump them off with a 9v battery. I'm going to deal with them when I get my car back.

They are GREAT with customer service. If you have Steves email then you have access to him. He helped me out at 10pm one night. Pretty cool.

Hi everyone, have anyone install the Noweeds on the American Racing headers 3in exhaust. That's what I have, and I noticed after I installed them that the motors sat lower then the exhaust pipes itself. So when I come in and out of my driveway they scrap. With the way the wires come out the motor, and how low the motor is, I already scrap and damage the wires. I'm just wondering if anyone have the same setup like mine, and if they had this problem, what you do to fix this issue. I love my Noweed setup, but if I can't come up with a fix for this I'm going to have to take them off. Thx, in advance!

Is your camaro lowered? Cause I wanna install these on a 3inch exhaust also and don't want no problems. I'm not lowered.

Just ordered mine pretty excited considering I haven't seen my car in 6 months.

PQ · 04-02-2016, 12:51 PM

Love mine still.

I moved my control location to just below the traction control.
I worked slowly with a Dremel and it is a tight fit, almost didn't need to attach the brackets and it fits nicely into the opening in front of the shifter.
And no more having to lean forward every time I want to adjust it.

Not sure about the forums but Steve is on top of things very fast. Handles thing himself.

I've never emailed him and not gotten a quick response. Even on holidays when I expected to hear from someone after the holiday.

Best service, or equal to, that I've ever seen anywhere.

The product is equal to the service as well.

Sorry to revive an old thread, but how long should this installation take?

brkntires · 08-15-2016, 11:11 AM

It took me just a couple hours. But I wasn't in a hurry. The hard part was cutting the exhaust pipe with a sawsall (with the wrong type of blade) I just went to a local AutoZone and rented a exhaust pipe cutter. It was quick after that. Just follow the instructions and there are a few install videos on YouTube, that helped a lot. Good luck and enjoy the results. You will be amazed.

I have a flowmaster outlaw cat back, will the ARH diverters work on that?
