Ive been driving around with this mod for over 2 months and there is no discoloration, fumes in the cabin, etc. During cold mornings, I can still see fumes bypassing the gap and entering/exiting the muffler. I got the idea from my brother who has been driving his wrx with this mod for years and no problems whatsoever. But if you want to be on the safe side, fabricate some pipes.

Ive only tested the car for about 20mins with a full muffler delete before i did this mod, so its kinda hard to recollect my experience, but I am pretty sure this mod toned it down a bit.

As you can see in the picture, the gasket is replaced with a few washers, therefore leaving a gap.
