Finally they are already known to be weak at that point, this just makes it fail quicker as far as i can tell.

am i right? or am i thinking to far into this?
If the leak can let moisture in, it can let moisture out. Not really seeing an issue there.

My $.02.


After listening to the vids in the associate links, it doesn't sound like a proper tuned exhaust should. It sounds like what it is, a leak.

Personally when i sit at a stop light or in traffic i don't like to smell my own exhaust, nor do those in my back seat(which obviously are scantily clad ladies who hate exhaust fumes).

Nismo said what was your point and I responded that you didn't have one. No, you can't smell exhaust fumes either.

Emissions equipment was removed. That is illegal.

How would it sound if you did this on the heads to manifold flange?

I agree here. When I did it on my car it sounded like a bad leak, much more so than an aftermarket exhaust.

If you want better sound for cheap, and don't want a catback, go get a dynomax 2.5" muffler for 60 bucks or a used flowmaster 40 series for 50 bucks and have it welded on in place of your stocker, either sound great on a stock exhaust.... Now put headers on with one of those little mufflers in place... WAY TOO LOUD, so be cautious.

Look guys, he was trying to be creative....however as we've seen before on subie forums, intelligence isnt always present (remember the gear oil in the engine thread??).

To the OP, this is a terrible Idea. Sorry you had to get flamed to realize it though...
