gfxdave99 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 it only takes 20 mins total to try it. What can it hurt? Dont like it? Go back to sock! Sock? Typo or your next great invention? If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nka Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 hum... it's very simple... just add 2 washer (less or more if you wish) between the muffler and the mid pipe. That's all ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a gasket or not? Your on the MSC also, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 no gasket, anyway, the goal is to create a "gap" that sounds cool! Oui j'suis sur le MSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendozer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I imagin that the hardware will break when trying to remove. Anyone know the size of the replacement hardware? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 3/8 washers and bolts about 1.5 inches long should cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think that OEM are 1", I did buy 1.5" btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 You do need some clearance since you're also throwing the washers in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 (edited) maybe he gave me 2" then... cause I have a lot of space with 2 washer (I may add 5-6 more without any problems Edited June 23, 2009 by nka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Next time your in Iowa, let me know; I'll do it for you. Take about 2 minutes with my impact wrench... I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time. CLICK HERE FOR THE HOGZAUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Did the mod yesterday...Two washers, original bolts on the 05. Gaskets were a mess but the bolts looked pretty good. So far the sound is very nice..Not too sure if Im gonna go down to one washer..Might be a bit too loud with two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So, we're talking about removing the 2 bolts (each) where the mufflers meet the Y pipe ? Or the 2 bolts behind the last Cat ? 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

hogmeat Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 two bolts each where the mufflers meet the Y. Someone did the other one upstream, and it didn't sound good. As for the one above on 1 vs 2....2 will quiet down. Why? Cause you'll get used to it! I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

sabotaged Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Another satisfied hog-zawst LGT.. I used some rhino ramps for more space, pblaster and a good socket wrench. They came off pretty easy that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 You can BACK UP Rhino Ramps, with the 5-speed and not go shooting off the back? You sir are worthy! I'm pleasantly surprised...

Max Capacity Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 (edited) Did this this morning. A little WD40 or PB Blaster, I used my big a** impact gun, 14mm socket and 14mm box end wrench. I did run the bolts out a bit and then spray them again and run them in/out. Sounds nice. I used two fat washers for spacing. Put anti-seize compound on the nuts and bolts when I put it back together.

Noeladams Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 just did mine since my money is going to get the house ready to be foster parents. All I can say is I love it and hopefully it will hold me off for my exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyrm98 Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just did it this morning...one negative thing I noticed-as I am sure others have-cannot keep my foot off the gas! I have already lost .3 on the MPG. Sounds great for me. I do have the Cobb catted DP too. Great modd-and mine was free! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nka Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just got back from the Rallye Baie des Chaleurs. I got 3 or 4 dude who asked me "What is you exaust ? sound good" so I told them "4 washer each side"... they were like . So I explained that I've only putted two washed on each bolt to create a leak, that mod is called "Hog Zawst" and they told me "well, I'm pretty amazed, sound very good ! :eek:" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendozer Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Finally was able to use a nice breaker bar and some serious elbow grease to get those bolts loose. Anyways 1 washer 1 side sounds wonderful. Nice rumble at low throttle and idle, minimal noise at WOT, or hwy cruising. What is the general census...Do most people do both sides or just the one?
