Had alot of fun installing this thing:

In case you're unsure of why it's installed next to my muffler, that's because of the way my exhaust is designed

I like to adjust the sound, but the plates that came with the setup and of the hassle of jacking the car up and getting underneath it every time just wasn't very practical.
The best part about it, is that I wired it up to a convertible top switch:

I still have to tuck the wires as you can see. Right now it's all a mess. I need to get another panel that holds the convertible switch and the 2nd gear start/Traction Control switch. The one have, it's clips are broken on the back side, and I don't feel like using silicone spread all over the back like I did before to hold the switches in place. I originally had a Camaro foglight switch on the left side rigged up to turn my fans on and off:

But since there's only enough room for 2 switches, I wired the fans up to the button on my shift knob since I never had anything wired up to it in the first place. It'll end up looking very similar to how it looks in the last picture when I'm done with it. In the end, this thing is great. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone, especially if you have the Borla setup that I have. It really completes the whole system. It's a blast driving around quiet one second, and push a switch to make it loud the next second.
I just ordered 2 new switch panels. 1 extra for backup because apparently these things are getting hard to find. So I'll update with some new pics when it arrives.
