I've seen pictures of folks with the electric exhaust cutout on the "Jersey" downpipes, which have the dump that points straight to the ground (versus the side exiting). My question on this is, how would this be for daily driving? Since the motor and all is kinda sticking out to the side, and exposed to any elements under the car while driving. With the side exiting dump, the motor can be positioned safely upward behind the frame rail. I'm interested in getting one of these, for my DP I'm about to install. However, the car is driven daily, and dont want anything to damage the cutout motor if it hangs too low. What are some of your opinions or experiences on this?

I just ordered my cutout for the Jersey dump, I'm glad you brought that to my attention, I saw Mr Tee's set up and it looked sweet. I will have to make sure mine comes in the same way.
Derek, let me see the picture of yours. Cant find it on the site.
How did he reverse the motor? I actually found some that are made for the GTP Pontiacs that are virtually the same thing a little cheaper. Although, the motor kinda sticks out in the center. I did a search for them. I dont want to pay $180 and have the thing get torn up.

http://www.buickgn.com/jerseycutout.jpg Here's a pic of a customer's installation on a Jersey dump. As far as I know he hasn't had any problems with clearance. Of course I wouldn't go driving fast over speed bumps.
Ooops. Just realized that Mr Tee is the customer who has the Jersey dump. Maybe he can chime in here on whether he had clearance problems or not.
If you need to reverse the motor it is a pretty simple job, just takes about 5-10 minutes.

Thats cool, no more pics needed. Looks like it should be fine. I'll just have Steve flip the motor around for me. I dont think I'll be getting one for a while, as I'm broke as a convict right now. Maybe in a few more weeks. I plan on installing my downpipe this weekend though. That is if I dont get involved with the other half of my t-top weather stripping project. 
I'm sure I'll just get Mark's, since the motor can be reversed, and I trust his quality much more.

Hey Matt, let me know how the T-top weatherstrip replacement goes that is a project I'll need to do soon
lol.. It sucks! Royal pain in the arse for someone like myself, whos never attempted it before. Nah, its not too bad. It just takes a lot of time. And if you dont have a garage or a daily driver, it requires a good weather forcast.
I havent finished yet. Only completed the passenger side. Still trying to figure out how I'm going to get the window adjusted, etc.
