No offence to people who do, ("It takes almost no time to make") I just think that's kind of funny.
When I deleted there was a shortage of delete pipes 2 week back order so inspired by Mike I decided to make mine, I made a template from the NOX flange and cut it out using a band saw (don't have a plasma cutter I'm old school) I do have a welder in fact I don't think I know anyone who doesn't have one but I guess in a city of over a million there must be someone here. Anyhow when it came time to get 4 inch exhaust pipe that was a different matter, it was too large for exhaust shops and most other places had to order it but it comes in 10 foot sections. At this point the 2 weeks were almost up and the cost was going to be about the same so I broke down and paid the few bucks and don't have a section of 4 inch pipe laying around.

Jagsfan811- I did the overhead mount just so it was "out of sight out of mind" sort of thing! I am trying to keep mine to be a "sleeper" look too. It is still very easy to read and get to.

Good to know thank you! I have been looking into the overhead mount, I like the "out of sight" idea, but I was concerned it would be difficult to use while driving.

Couple of things with the o/head mount, if you are tall 6ft + there is only just enough room for the mirror to adjust to where you need it, when I change the next windshield in I'm mounting the mirror slightly lower. Also the screen is fairly hard to see and I have found that by securing it with the drivers side Velcro only then pulling the pax side out slightly, it sits at more of an angle making it easier to read and has never moved.

Yeah I could see how the screen would be difficult to see. I got my tuner in the mail today and it was smaller than I expected. So I will have to rethink how I mount it. I may just use the suction cup to start and see. DPF delete pipe should be in tomorrow and I will install it on saturday. Lack of daylight is difficult. Leave and come home when its dark... thanks daylight savings
