Good god. Sounds just as good if not better than F.I., Berk, MXP, etc. Is that really just our stock exhaust with a small opening from a washer. Wholly smokes that sounds good. Thanks for the post

Between what two exhaust parts are the washers installed?

Gunzero · 04-25-2010, 11:55 AM

You just put them in between to space out the exhaust causing it to have a gap about 3/4''-1''

I had a look under the car and I believe the washers are installed at the connection where the two pipes meet the muffler.

i did this too to tide me over till I can mod my car cause like i said before there is a 6 month period in Hong Kong where you can't mod unless you want to be taxed. cost me 1 usd for this mod. And you're wrong gases still escape out the gap. hold a piece of glass over the joint and get your friend to rev you'll see the glass fogs up. I hope the shop gave you stainless washers.

Actually small amounts of gas still escape when you're on idle too.

I saved these pics when I saw them awhile ago....lol

Not my intakes or exhaust BTW....

Gunzero · 04-26-2010, 09:23 AM

Yes the gas still does escape out of the gap, but it doesn't bother me because some of the gas still goes through the muffler.
When you are cruising around the wind under the car will get rid of the exhaust gases so it won't be stationary under the car. When at idle the amount coming out through the gap is insignificant. I'm not worried about fumes or anything.
