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!

^Me too. The way I had the car on the driveway you could hear everything underneath. I do have HFC's so it will have some rasp but I swear by the sound. It is way better in person.

I put the HFC's on well before I did this. There was only a slight difference after the HFC's were installed. This was a huge difference so I would recommend it with HFC's still. Good luck with your choice

Thx for the video, my camera was positioned farther back and off to the side. I have not heard it yet thru computer speakers, just played it back in the camcorder and there was wind muffling the sound so prolly not a good candidate for showing.

Sounds good with the HFC's. I did notice a little gasp or hestitation when you reved it, mine did the same with 5,4 and 3 washers. Guess it all comes down to a personal preference. Wish I could hear it outside the car, but for me it has to also sound good in the cabin as I am the one who has to live with it in the cabin. With 5 and 4 washers mine sounded garbled and 3 washers was too much rasp.
