Too small of a gap and it may end up sounding like a shitty exhaust leak.

We've been running like this for almost 5000 miles. I love the sound for the pricetag... $Free - I've got more spare washers than Home Depot.

Waiting for the MotorDyne exhaust to come out. Until then, this suffices.

Someone already has a video with two washers. The video is on the closed thread, check out the link to it.

hey, i actually have 5 spacers on each on my set up, i think it just depends how thick your washers are(do they even come in different thickness?? lol) but yea, i'm sure if it's anything close it wont make much of a sound difference, just make sure you still have enough thread to put the bolt back on lol

I know I had some Metric ones I was going to use first and I would have only needed 3 to make the same thickness as the 4 Standard ones I used. So yes, they come in different thicknesses.

I agree also with having more or less as long as it is close it will be good. If you just put one I could see it sounding like a leak, and if you put 6 or more it might get louder and your tips will start to stick out past the bumper.

I just made a video with my new Sony NEX5. I still don't think the sound is going to be the same as in person though. Enjoy!

in the winter time you're going to have steam come out the washered gasket area and your car's going to look broken.

Holliday, hook me up with some video of your ride + hfc + washer mod. I just want to see how loud is it. Might do this to my ride before i get my exhaust system.

ZForce · 09-17-2010, 11:18 PM

I would prolly put it back to stock in the winter time and run it only during the sunny cali days (8 months out of the year).

ZForce · 09-17-2010, 11:21 PM

k..this may seem like noob question, but what else would need to be loosen up to be able to get some slack to slip in 4 wahers?

You should be able to slip them in with another set of hands helping. You can slide the muffler back and forth on the exhaust hangers, which gives you about an inch of flexibility.

kewl thx....I might try this tomorrow. I cannot believe my Nismo CBE ($1700) proved zero hp gains on the dyno and really did nothing to the exhaust note. So I am gonna try and get my monies worth with this $6 mod. Plus I have Berk HFC's so it should be even more interesting than "Holiday's" setup.
