^better to wrap 3pt belt behind seat and clip on belt receptacle. U could probably do over your 6pt but incase u need to get out of car ie fire inside cockpit that's another click to remove plus 6 pt. That 1.5 seconds doing that- can make a huge difference how u look like and feel if it happens. I time myself getting out of car with removing 6 pt/qr wheel/removing driverside window net with helmet with door bars due to full cage at 6.5 seconds. If cant get out driver side remove centernet get out by passenger side adds another 3 seconds. After 8 seconds and still inside u will be burning. Always recommend practicing getting out of car if it happens. Mike

any race shop that has piwis can reprogram your car so it would not make any sounds when seatbelt is not plugged in. i did it at same time when i turned off airbag warnings after replacing stock seat with a recaro.
