This is a personal review from forum member SmartPassion.
*********************
Finally picked up my cabrio from the gang at DTH yesterday. Couldn't wait to try it out. Man, if you thought your car gets attention now, wait till you get one of these things on!
Drove it through a variety of conditions - moderate to heavy freeway traffic, in-town traffic, open road, etc. The extra horsepower is noticeable, confirmed by my BD (butt dynometer). Pick up is noticeably improved. No more bogging off the line. Its almost like a different car. Just need suspension work now.
Before the install, I was a little concerned about excessive noise and interior resonance with this engine. But DTH did a great job tuning the system. While you will definitely notice an increase in sound, it is no louder than other cars with a system (the car sounds best on a quiet early Saturday morning run. ). Those who've driven older British cars will feel right at home.
As an added bonus, you may notice sound similar to manual heel-toe downshifting as the computer match engine RPM to the transmission upon downshifting in manual mode. Really cool. Felt like a Ferrari for a second there.
It was a pleasure working with Nick, Jaime and others at DTH (they doing all the work and me having all the fun) to get this system going. I know they tried a lot of stuff before finalizing this unit.
They have a great product. IMHO, no need for a high-priced imported unit. And I've bought my share of high-end brand-name stuff before, believe me.
This is a great start for accessories for the smart car. Frankly, I wasn't sure how a company that traditionally makes systems for hot rods and motorcycles will do with a smart. But now that I've had first hand experience with their exhaust, I feel they can do the job and do it well.
I'm also confident that other smart owners will enjoy them too. So, I've decided to become a wholesale/retail distributor. I have a special allotment of systems coming out and will be taking reservations for them.
I'll be taking my car to as many smart meets as possible for everyone to see. Check out the so cal smarties schedule listed elsewhere. If you can't wait, give me a shout out.
So. California owners (or elsewhere if you deem the trip worthy), buying from me will also get their system installed for free.

So I won't lie, I expected the factory mats to be pretty terrible but after a months use they are in great condition and I have had no complaints. I would recommend these to all smarties!

Purchased this horn not knowing if I would like it but after the incredibly smooth install and the plug-and-play ease of the item, it makes me happy to know that when I use the horn, others will here it and I absolutely love it.
The installation was absolutely bolt on and only required a ratchet wrench and a torque head screw driver to remove the body panels.
