lesson learned

[Thirdworlddoug]

Was driving on the freeway, on my way home last week and I hear this devilish sound coming from under my car. About one-two minutes later it stopped, thought the drive shaft had broke, for some odd reason. i was able to pull over about quarter mile down the road and see one of my cutout motors had fallin off and all that remained was the connecting wire. The devilish sound must of been it bouncing around under my car. Luckily nothing was damaged. Moral of the story loctite bolts, and vibration kills. Here are some pics:

all parts are from quicktimeperformance.com and when i say 80 that was just for a replacement motor. the valve assembly was still intact just the electric motor part fell off.

i would of pulled over faster however there was no safe area to pull off. ya was able to get parts this week so shes back together, back to surprising the hell out of people lol.

Those are so cool!

thanks man, its pretty awesome to be able to go from stock sound to ridiculous with the flip of a switch.

Locktight releases around 250` so exhaust really isn't a good application for it...

Pick up a box of Nordlock washers (Google them) for heat cycled and other PITA connections that keep coming loose.
