I've been running the exhaust for about the last 3 weeks and love it so far. I ran into a bit of a problem when i torqued the donut gasket flange on the borla and i bent the flange a tad, therefore causing the exhaust to not seat properly.

Anyway, the exhaust seems to be in good working order so far with a tiny leak in that area. I was wondering if any of you guys got the 3" connection instead of the original 2.5" tappered connection. i figured i'd might as well get the new connection seeing how i screwed up the last one.

Anyone know how about getting it and how much it'll cost? i remember hearing about MPJperformance special ordering the design but am not sure what came of it.

Someone fill me in...

just FYI I also ended up with a small leak @ the douhnut gasket juncture. It went on slightly cockeyed. However that is when it was torqued to "tight enough". I busted out the torque wrench and torqued it to spec and it stopped leaking. I was using a new doughnut gasket FWIW.

 

This may be a little off topic but I do have a question about the borla hush. Is this system quieter than stock because I still want an exhaust that I can hear and sounds good but I do not want it to be super loud. I don't want my car to get much louder but I would still like it atleast to be close to stock.

 

Eric: Did you find the leak by putting your hand by the connection with the donut gasket? I'm sorry to hear that but I suppose like you could get a new gasket, they charge about $30 bucks from the dealer. Wish I could give you some other ideas on how to fix the bent metal.

Iceman: I've been totally happy with the borla hush system, I can tell it's there but I do notice that it idles at a lower RPM than stock and I cann't hear it with the radio on, but with the radio off I can tell that it's there.

im thinking about getting this exhaust also but too lazy to get the 3" flange for it.

 

What 3" flange? Where do you get this mythical beast? I thought Hush owners were stuck either using the 2.5" or hacking a 3".

Thanks,

 

tommy and mike at MPJperformance know about it because they insisted on it from Borla. Im going to get ahold of them next monday and figure it out. then i'll post it here.

Well Mike from MPJ just sold me a Hush. Now to pick out the DP and I am set.

So far teh Stromung 3" divorced wastegate and ScoobySport are the front runners since I want to keep the 3rd car. Iwould prefer a bellmouth and the SS warranty makes me feel better but it is soooo expensive

 

i wont be able to talk to tommy or mike until next monday but if you get a chance ask about it.
