id like to put my two cents about the Hog-Zawst...i had done the stage 2 on each side (8 washers total) when i had a completly stock exhaust and absolutly loved the sound of it
...but since then i have gotten a catless uppipe, and a catless midpipe as well as an XO2 intermediate pipe(with the resonator) nd Y-pipe...i tried doing stage 2 Hog-zawst on one side (2 washers on each of 2 bolts on one exhaust)...i got pulled over in about 8 minutes after i pulled out my driveway, i got away with saying it was n exhaust leak becuases i told the cop to put his hand under the car and see that one exhaust was complete with out any leaks while the other one had loose bolts therefore it was leaking. he gave me a verbal warning and sent me on my merry way
....then i went stage .5 (1 washer on one bolt and thats it) well with stage .5 you would get the woo woo effect ([ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n79jSzKA0L8]YouTube - Woo Woo[/ame]) at about 5000+ RPM, below that it sounded good, except at idle it would make wierd burbling sounds...so im back to stage 0 aka catless turboback exhaust+resonator+ stock mufflers
