lasted 1 week, removed washers today. Less power according to the buttdyno, sound wasnt that bad, but whats sound matter when no added performance is present? Shoulda known better but just had to try it. will probably invest in the F.I. exhaust in a few months.

If you think you'll get performance increase by creating an exhaust leak ...
Good luck with your F.I.

Forgot to mention, had not noticed MPG go down, but after removing washers and filling up, MPG went up(according to the MPG monitor on our Z's). Driving habits have remained the same(believe me)

Thanks... and not so much of a noob . What i meant was that if there was no power increase(in my case i felt i lost power), whats the use of having a car that sounds "sporty"(which i wasnt so in love with the sound either).

Unbolt your muffler, stack a bunch of washers in between the flanges and bolt it back up. Makes it sound different.
