Stealth, now, I have only had the cams in for a few weeks now but I was at a redlight beside a patrol car a couple days ago and a State Trooper last week and neither gave me any problems.(obviously, I didn't rev it or do anything to draw additional attention to myself!) I know you can hear them though, because I have a gotten a lot of "thumbs up" and questions about the engine while sitting at redlights. Gotta love 'em!

Does Georgia have a vehicle code prohibiting rough idle? Why would a Trooper care?

..hmm.. maybe I am just paranoid because the cut outs are ridiculously loud even when slowly trying to roll out at a stop light. No problems so far.. knock on wood.

No, I was just pointing out to Stealth that I haven't had any problems with them. My exhaust is pretty loud, so I am always worried about it when I am around any law enforcement of any kind.

My car is so f/cking loud I can't believe it when I accelerate by a cop and he doesn't pull me over. I have the Brenspeed NSR cams.

some cams might come with instructions, I personally bought a shop manual for my car the week I got it knowing I'd be tearing into it sooner or later got my manual off of ebay for like $50 if I remember right. sometimes it's nice to have everything printed right in front of you.

Its one of the stickys on one of these forums, not sure if it's the 05-10 general or technical section under the hot rod cams install.. great stuff. If you've swapped out cams before it's pretty much the same deal, in our cars you just have to be careful not to mess up the vct cam phashers.
