Between what two exhaust parts are the washers installed?

Gunzero · 04-25-2010, 12:55 PM

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

I can't say for sure it would lose power, but I'm sure you can tell from my earlier comment that I think it's a pretty good chance.

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.

WAIT why would you do this? Wouldn't that let hot air in when you're sitting in traffic and when you're moving fast prevent the ram air effect that was designed with this airbox? I'm not sure but I remember when i was on myg35.com they said that for the g35 they had this design because of the ram air effect when you're going 55mph or over. Thats why so many of the aftermarket intakes feels like that lost power compared to the stock ones.

Sorry thread jacked lol.

I think it was meant as a bit of a joke to poke fun.

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

Not my intakes or exhaust BTW....

Gunzero · 04-26-2010, 10:23 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.
