Did the washer mod
 

:shakes head: 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.

Hey, it's like ******* a fat chick. Why not try it once? Have fun with the F.I. exhaust sexiness :tup:

:tiphat: thanks!

:roflpuke2: hilarious :bowrofl:

If you think you'll get performance increase by creating an exhaust leak ... :p
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:stirthepot:)

:tiphat:Thanks... and not so much of a noob :icon14:. 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).

um what mod is this? :confused:

i have the washer mod but its only for sound until i have a full header back exhaust setup

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

you seriously tried that? dumbass. lol

And you seriously have to be a douche....?

yes. we're car guys, were supposed to bust balls. don't get all butt hurt on me. lol

but your are right, i am actually a huge douche bag

Why do people call these things "mods"...seriously!?!?!?

Stop making the car a ricemobile!

You want cheap sound, just do it right

Ok, well, I would never have done that but to each is own. I don't fault you for being innovative :tup:

You get an awesome sound when you remove the muffler and go with the short tail set up. the only caveat to that is that you lose back pressure causing the car to run rich and you lose low end torque. The AAM set up is nice but you could save yourself about $150 or more by getting it marked up at a reputable muffler shop. I had mine mocked up built and installed for about $225. if you want to keep the sound and gain your low end torque back you will need to get it tuned.

I tried if before making more permanent mods and didn't think it sounded "ricey." Reverbing under the car gave it a rather pleasant, low sound (but I didn't listen to it outside the car since I was only concerned with a little more volume in the cabin). I don't recommend doing it for an extended period of time (it blows hot exhaust gas at the bottom of the car and some of the wiring) but it's a great temporary mod if you just want to see if you like things a little louder.

There is no reason to be disrespectful regardless of what kind of forum this is. It's one thing to joke around, but name calling is unnecessary. The fact that you called yourself a douche bag makes me think you seriously lack maturity. Grow up or I suggest you sell your car, buy a 350Z, and head over to their forums. :rolleyes:

Exactly my point. I knew from the beginning that i wasnt going to keep it like that, but was definitely curious to hear how my Z sounded.

wow, a little up tight huh? i suggest you go down to your local MLK blvd, pick up a hooker, and get laid. sounds like its been a while for ya fella.

he called me a name, i simply reemphasized his comment with a hint of sarcasm. if you have an issue go to the source before you cast dumbfounded accusations. take your condescending ******** else where

I'm in my mid 20s. Getting laid isn't a problem. I just hate bullies and you sir are a bully. If you are an adult, act like one. Calling people names is hardly a mature thing to do.

ha ha ha ha ha. im sure you do chief!

you got me bro, im a big ol meanie poo. sitting here in my tapout shirt, growling at the screen. watch out now, im coming for your lunch money and a wedgie next.

im still curious who i called a name. ill wait here patient till you look back and realize your incorrect. you can apologize whenever you get off your soapbox. lol

;)

my bad, i would hardly consider dumbass as calling a name. but i guess if you have no sense of humor it would be considered such. lol

hence the lol signifying it was a joke.

Well the world doesn't revolve around you. I hope to god you're never a passenger on my flight. You're the kind of person that gets left at the gate. Just remember that. I've already been PMed that you've proven to be jerk and not to bother wasting my time arguing. Seems I'm not the only person that thinks so. Reality check. I'm out. Deuces.

zilvia ?

I call shenanigans. The ECU can handle the change in exhaust. Nissan has always used robust maps. MAF allows this. Changing BOTH intake exhaust will exceed the ECU latitude, though.

My ARK exhaust caused no driveability problems or change in gas mileage. It did cause a slight drop in low-end torque but that's because exhaust velocity dropped in that rpm range. I haven't had the car tuned.
