to lazy to watch the vid, but is this the washer mod?

i wouldnt do it for the fact that all you are doing is creaking a massive exhaust leak. you can create a space between the flanges then all those gases will go out right there and if under the car may end up going into the cabin of the car and well that is not good. i dunno if it will do anything bad as for a tuning aspect of it. i stayed stock for the first two years i owned my car cause i could not afford to mod it. if it were me i would just leave my car alone rather then do DYI mods like this.

my motto is: if you can't afford to mod it properly, don't mod it.
