Umm... what happened to all the other post? This was two pages yesterday. Is i-Club turning into NASIOC? There is a reason Im active on i-Club and not NASIOC.

Staying on topic:
Honestly just take the washers out, it is a good idea.

see, wtf did I tell you! I said it a while back, this place is gonna turn in nazioc...and everyone was like...no no no, the new rules are just there just in case...BS.

take the washers out, specially at that area of the exhaust, there's a reason for having the exhaust gasket there.

My 89 lx with cutoff flows disagrees

Just how thick are these washers that they bridge he gap between the down pipe and the axle back? At the length they would have to be for this to happen I would think you would have to call them "pipes" and that the gap would be larger than any nickel I have ever seen...
