The sound gets like three times louder and the car loses power. It's like super loud but not going anywhere. hahaha

Mine is leaking because I put the paper gaskets when installing. Didn't have a chance to get the metal gaskets, so I put the paper ones.

I do a lot of canyon runs every week, so the paper gaskets must have been burnt away. Thus, the muffler and midpipe ends are hitting each causing the leak.

I'm swapping out the existing one for Borla tomorrow morning, so it's all good. The Borla one comes with these little tighteners so no need for the metal gaskets.

So far so good, I really like the feel of it as well, very grippy.

I just bought some Ammo NYC products to try out on the BRZ.

Let me know how those work out. Been thinking about doing the same myself, but I have to run through my current stuff first.

Couple options.
1) Look under the car for condensation dripping out of the joints.
2) Park next to a wall and rev a little. You'll be able to hear the sound bouncing back at you.
3) Jack up the car. Put a shop vac exhaust up one tailpipe. Block the other tailpipe with a towel. Get under the car and spray soapy water on the joints. Bubbles = leak.

I'll check out these when I get my car back. Thanks for the help. It's really appreciated.

Anyone ever order from HPT Motorsports? I know a few guys have their lips and skirts, I placed an order this afternoon for the front lip, been looking for a week and it was in stock the whole time, as soon as i placed my order within an hour I get an email that its back ordered for at least a month. That upset me but no biggie till I looked at my bank account and they took the money out for it while its out of stock and not shipped... what the hell kind of shady business practice is that? Sent an email and am going to call them in the morning, that order will be canceled and the money needs to be back in my account by monday morning. Not impressed HPT.
