Yeah the metal was free.
The digital camera that took the vid wasn't mine. All I got is a crappy camera that takes barely recognisable videos without sound and as you can see, the pictures aren't that good either.
And I noticed that I'l need to work on these spacers a little bit more because I noticed that they're not perfectly flat. So next week maybe.
But what's really annoying me is that it's as thick as 3-4 washers. I don't want exhaust fumes to escape the gap.

There's my new system I made with a piece of metal I found. It was a b*tch to make because that was some seriously hard steel. It might be a little bit too thick though.

I'm installing them as soon as I can. Can't wait to hear what it does.

That's what STG1 do.
Notice the crappy "pffpffpff" sound when idling and when the engine is turning off.
STG2 solved that.

Changed to staged 2 today.
Seemed too loud at the begening but I'm getting used to it. That defenitely fixed the crappy idling sound problem.
But I think I'l take some scrap metal plates and make myself something a little bit more sophesticated next week.

I just went Hozaust STG 1 and all I can say is w00t!!!!! I drove it around for 15 minutes with a huge smile on my face and now I already want to go STG2
The only thing though is that it sounds very ugly at idle. Instead of a sweeeet rumble, it sounds more like a *pffpffpffpffpff*. Will a STG2 fix that?
New Hog-zawst System!!! The sound of power! *with patented washer technology*

I tried my new "system" (see my previous post) and it was teh sux. It was a little more quiet than a STG2 inside, probably as loud or more outside but the "idle crappiness" came back and it was making some crappy and loud popping noises when I reved on neutral.
STG2 really put a smile on my face the first days and I really liked it the first week or two but now I'm getting bored of it and I really don't like what it does on the highway when going uphill (low tone humming, makes your ears feels like they wanna implode) and I can't imagine doing a long trip with that. I've put it back to stock for now, but I've put some high temperature anti-seize on the gaskets and the bolts just in case I change my mind.
BTW, I'd recommend you put a coat of that on your exhaust fittings if you go Hogzaust so it protects them. This is some seriously sticky stuff and won't wash off easily.
