Never in my life have I heard of anyone creating an exhaust leak to make the exhaust sound better,,,, until I bought my 370 and started reading the forums. I think it's dumb, but it’s not my car so washer away. And as stated before; creating an exhaust leak post 02 sensor will have no measurable affects on HP/TQ. It's all in your head.

really?

its pretty common with muscle cars, subarus, cobalts, maximas, altimas, volvos, 350zs, ect.

i think the only group that doesnt do crap like that are honda guys(which is the exact opposite of what i would have thought XD)

Granted, this is the first import I have owned since my first car which was a GSLSE Rx7. I have been racing Mustangs (now a vette) for more than 20 years and not once have I heard anything about separating exhaust pipes using washers to make the exhaust louder. Especially in the Mustang/Camaro/Vette crowds. Doing so in one of these cars would sound like an embarrassing exhaust leak. Either buy an exhaust system or get a cutout. Damn, I feel old now. The fact of the matter is it’s your car. Do as you wish; what I think means absolutely nothing.

i have seen a few on mustangs, camaros, chargers/challengers, Pontiac G8, Trans am, Firebirds, ect.

i dont think the vette crowd would do that kind of stuff since they just have to pull a fuse to stop the butterfly valve from closing on their extra exhaust tips for more sound and i know for a fact that the viper crowd dont do that since their exhaust sounds beefy as hell stock

i know i only did the washer mod because my moms stock maxima has a better exhaust note than my Nismo 370z does stock(and that imo is really sad)

That's exactly why I did it. People are always criticizing this mod but it really makes the car sound nice.
