No droning at highway speeds as previously mentioned on this string. I'll have to drive it around a bit for an extended period of time to see if dropping one side to one set of washers is the way to go. Sounds great though!

Just went to 1.5...A little more subdued to fit my taste, but can still hear the boxer rumble. One washer on the driver side with two on the passenger.

I just went from stage 2 to stage 8! (Stage 8 being a single strand of #8 solid copper conducter) The sound is not noticeably different to my ears, but does seem to be a little more mellow, yet still gives that feedback to the driver.

OK, so my LGT went to the shop today for an oil change, and a check-up on my rear wheel bearings (both are bad, of course) and I also asked the tech to check the torque on the lower strut bolts and swaybar links and brackets - even told him I'd pay a 1/2 hour labor, if necessary. I installed a set of iON springs last week and every once in awhile get some creaking sounds from the suspension. Not a clunk like when my endlink was loose - it's more subtle than that. Anyway, I wasn't entirely sure that I put everything back together properly so I asked him to check it out. When I went to pick up my car, the guy said that the sounds I'm hearing were from exhaust leaks I've got at both mufflers, and that I messed up the gaskets when I unbolted the mufflers to do my suspension!! Um, no. I didn't really know how to try and explain the beauty of the Hogzaust system to the guy, so I just told him don't worry about the exhaust, and by the way, were all the suspension bits torqued properly??

"Well, I didn't check those because what you are hearing is an exhaust leak."

DOH!!!

"I noticed you accidently replaced your gaskets with washers...silly mistake, anyone could've done it"

It was even more confusing than that, as I went with the custom fit 12-gage copper wire method. I can imagine them going, "WTF???" Funniest part was that the dealer was thoughtful enough to actually provided me a written estimate for the replacement parts I'd need to 'fix' it:

QTY 2 - Gasket R/M(?) - 44011AE01A - $5.84ea
QTY 4 - Bolt - 901660014 - $2.84ea
QTY 4 - Nut - 902350001 - $4.05ea

Grand total in parts: $41.59. No labor was quoted. I'm just amused because in the time it took them to type up this quote that I didn't want, they could have actually torqued the suspension bolts like I'd asked them to. Oh well.

Anyway - there's the gasket part number if anyone wants to replace theirs or go with the Hogzaust Premier edition, by snipping away some of the OEM gasket. I checked Subaruparts.com, and they've got them listed at $2.22ea + $1.99 shipping.

Yeah, well if you put the $3 bolt on your DP and UP they will break.

How many washers did you use?

**05silverbus** · #**448:** 07-08-2006, 02:55 PM

Indeed this will work and sound smooth with n/a. My "i" came to audible life on my lunch break or I should say a quarter of it(15 min project and clean-up.)

**Would going hog on one side and staying stock on the other cause any issues??

**mwiener2** · #**449:** 07-08-2006, 03:51 PM

yeah, it'll be half as loud
