BMac1203 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Nope, full faith. I just didn't expect it to sound so amazing. I was driving a whole 2 miles to my work today, and I had 3 comments in the parking lot walking from my car to where I work. Best $1 I ever spent! ^did you expect anything less??!! this is the hogg we're talkin' about:icon_bigg Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gianspi Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Will this cause any emissions/inspection to fail? I need to get re-inspected soon. enough zip ties and duct tape will fix anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravisS Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Will this cause any emissions/inspection to fail? I need to get re-inspected soon. I certainly don't know, and being in an area with no emissions testing, I have no reason to know... but I can't imagine why it would. Mufflers do very little, if anything, to reduce emissions. They are as the name implies, for muffling sound. The only way I'd venture to guess this would cause a failure is if post-cat "exhaust leaks" are a failing offense... assuming they even notice.

bosco Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 OK, i had to wait for snow before i could make chili. This is the first time in 25 years that it hasn't snowed in Iowa in Oct-Nov-Dec. Light dusting of snow, more on the way. That means chili season!! is it snowing there yet? if not just pretend it is i'm getting hungry. man cannot live by salsa alone. bosco Stay Stock Stay Happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about emissions testing by you, but emissions testing around Atlanta they just plug the computer into the OBDII port and the ECU says everything's fine (unless you've recently had a check engine light come on). CEL = emissions failure. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmeat Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 is it snowing there yet? if not just pretend it is i'm getting hungry. man cannot live by salsa alone. bosco No! Damnit! It's a balmy 50*, 30+ above average. I havent forgot about you, i was gonna make it, just so I could post it up, but then I got banned. So my friend, soon. ...not only all that, WTF did I buy an AWD car, if it never snows?! Argh!! I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

hogmeat Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 as for emissions, NO - you will not fail. All it does it let a little out before the mufflers, all filtering and coverting is LONG done. Won't throw a code, or CEL, or anything. Hog it baby!! I'm pleasantly surprised...

Effin Ponderous Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The Hog evolves... Didn't see where anyone actually performed the mod this way, but I love the sound now. Rather than removing the gasket all together, I may a surgical incision (more like cut it with a pair of Wiss snips) in the factory gaskets as shouwn below. Cut a straight line at the widest part of the inside of the gasket. This method will help to keep the exhaust flowing directly to the rear and eliminate any possibility of blowing out more of the gasket. The sound is better than the original washer mod (IMO). It sounds more like a performance exhaust thatn a hole in the muffler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 There is a similar method here - but uses a copper wire in teh same fashion. I'm afraid your gasket may deteriorate over a few months that way. I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

Effin Ponderous Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 ^^That's why I cut it the way I did. Opened it up the full width of the inside diameter. Hopefully they won't, but I can always replace them if they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMac1203 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Not a bad idea with that gasket. If it did deteriorate, you could either replace it, or couldnt you trace it onto some sheetmetal and do the same thing? Also, I need to replace my washers soon. I was so anxious to do this that I didn't go out and buy stainless. Ooops... Need a CarPC bezel? PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effin Ponderous Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The stainless plate could be a good idea. You could vary the thickness to produce your desired sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMac1203 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It needs to stay. If it had been shutdown, new users like me may not have been able to do a priceless mod that makes them fall in love with their LGT all over again. You're my hero hogmeat. Need a CarPC bezel? PM me!
