hadvw Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 have any cel codes popped up for anyone? And has anyone tried just one washer? I think its sounds great but it may be a little too much. No CEL codes. At all. I'm running one washer (with both bolts) on just one side, so I guess you could say I'm at 0.5 (and someone running just one washer total is at 0.25?)

hogmeat Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 8 - 20 washers at various times and no CEL's or otherwise... I mean, all your doing is reducing backpressure slightly at the mufflers, many many feet away from any type of sensor at all. Don't over-read into this!! 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...
nismoz Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 20 washers? :eek: thats like stage 5... which means the muffler is virtually disconected from the Y-pipe. How loud is that? Even my stage 3 sounds too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadvw Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 how does it sound? how loud? It's a nice pleasant burble, with a nice rasp when I get on it. I am stage 2 (downpipe cat delete + TDC tune). Basically, it lets me HEAR the car. With 100% stock, I could barely hear it at times. Definitely not LOUD. Way quieter than half the GM SUVs I hear on the road here.. I like it!

hogmeat Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 yah, I just changed my oil and ditched a 8,000 mile stock paper filter for the "new" AVO filter. It may be my imagination, but it helps. It really does. Or it could just be the clearing my maps and reloading a fresh realtime... 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...
oddseth Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Finally got the tech at merchants to loosen my bolts and did the Hogzaust last night. My favorite is the muffler delete option-the car sounded more like an LS1 than an EJ25 engine. Then, took it to stage two and I thought it was a bit too loud. Left it at stage one which sounded just right but since I was in a condo garage, it was much quieter when I was above ground. Taking it back to stage two tonight!

hogmeat Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 you'll find it "gets quieter" as you get used to it too. My Stage 2 was a little loud at first, then now it's too quiet. lol I'm pleasantly surprised... It was most certainly worth the couple bucks and 10 mins of my time.

LGT Dave Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 The stages are simply the number of washers you put on each bolt - Stage 1=1 washer on each bolt, Stage2=2 washers on each bolt, etc... More washers gives you a bigger gap between the exhaust pipe and the muffler which makes it louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g2redgsr Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 as far as know you put 1-2 possbly more washers in between the muffler openning...got any exact details here would like to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddseth Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hogmeat, went stage two the other day and damn, that is a nice sound! I was the quietest car at a charity track last September but tomorrow that will definitely not be the case. Just hoping my AP comes today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g2redgsr Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 looked at the connection connecting the mufflers to the rest of the exhaust and looked like if i break it apart it will not be put together too easilly due to rust anyone have that problem? look like the rust welded the pipes on there lol, anyone encounter this?

More washers gives you a bigger gap between the exhaust pipe and the muffler which makes it louder. Not to bash anyone, but giving a "stage" name to something as ghetto as putting some washers in between your pipes to make it louder? I just have to laugh. Anything to make the "mod" sound faster and furiouser though, eh? I'm not saying it doesn't sound good, I'm sure it does, but this whole "stage" crap is out of hand. Hey, when I was 17 I drilled holes though the mufflers of my '74 Satellite, that sounded cool too. I wish I could remember how many holes I drilled, I might have been stage 24 for all I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmeat Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Anything to make the "mod" sound faster and furiouser OMG LOL. That really made me laugh! As to the poster above, yes, just slam some washers inbetween the flange; done. Stage 2, I mean, 2 washers on each bolt (8 total) is a real sweet spot. As for getting apart/back together if you can't muscle it, go to a shop; someone in the last few pages did and for like $11 or something, they took apart and put new hardware in for him. 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...

g2redgsr Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 im surprised theres no preformance increase, have you seen the inside of our mufflers? letting that much air out before the mufflers i would think atleast be of SOME gain... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
