Why make the switch and what's wrong with your factory Polaris button secondary? Any 1" keyed cat roller would work from the 98-02 era.

In my opinion you wont see performance gains and will probably end up with more of a headache using the cat clutch then a polaris button or roller.

I'm in north Seattle, as far as parts go what are you looking for? I have some extra stuff and also have a few friends that have alot of genII and edge stuff. I like Cat secondary's as well mgrizzly, I just don't see much of a performance gain switching to one versus using polaris button.

"twin jaws" is probably referring to the type of helix which are usually called "twin tracks". Jaws is however a manufacturer of aftermarket exhaust pipes. What team secondary is it? 4 or 98?

I have a painted red lexan lightweight hood with two small cracks I'd get rid of, don't have any extra plastics. Looks just like a stock hood but sits taller for better clearance.

yeah i have a black lexan, not sure i wanna use it though, why are they so much taller? are they meant to be cut down? and did you paint the outside of it or inside? my stock hood is just rough, and what would you want for yours?

They are made to clear larger pipes, mine came with my sled and it's painted on the inside, I'd sell it for $75 cash locally for the hood bare. It's set up to be strapped down.
