Do yourself a favor and double check that the screws that hold the butterfly in are tight, I've seen may pics of the butterfly bolts loosened and missing

Case and point below...

I'd much rather have a DMH or Raceready, but I'm working with what I've got (had it 4 years now).

i have the badlandz performance one from ebay and the day after i put it on the motor fell off the top and burnt the wire in half where the motor was hanging on it. i bought a new motor an wire from them and it works fine now. my brother has had the same one for years now an it still works fine, so i guess they all have bad eggs sometimes.

kinda looks like it might be butterfly valve style, could be a good or bad thing. i believe the others are gate style.

i think that both tubes have a valve on them 90 degrees apart so when ones open the others shut... i think its a good idea... but more moving parts usually isnt.... .good luck
