haha, yeah...it looks a little odd but hell if it works and seals well its well worth it. i like how the butterfly valve is recessed into the pipe a little deeper so you could weld on a turnown or something without harming the operation of the valve. kinda hard to do that on most e-cutouts since they usually just bolt up to the y-pipe instead of all in one unit.

can you take the cover thats over the motor off and expose the gears and whatnot inside? id silicone that up for sure, and thats hoping the motors will last in them. any kind of warranty come with them?
