sure, i still have the leftover packages. the big ones for the vac hose is 3/8" and the ones that go on the muffler is 1/8". the 1/8" was little tight, but the next size up that they had was too loose.

Mod is okay...PSE + AWE Xpipe is awesome.

I wouldn't recommend it considering the price of adding PSE has come down substantially in most areas

You don't recommend the mod? Well >3k for sound doesn't seem to make any sense to me. I don't need another Honda I might try this mod out and see. Any lost of MPG with this mod?

just meant that I wish I had done PSE sooner instead of messing around with the mod. It's definitely a noise maker but I can "feel" more horsepower haha.

I didn't notice any substantial decrease in MPG. I do now actually have a decrease because I'm revving it much much higher to hear the exhaust note.

tried this mod and loved it. I have a cab so with the top down you really get to enjoy the sound. I want to make it switchable so in the spring I'm going to install a normally open vacuum solinoid in line and run a wire to the cabin with a switch so I can switch it back and forth

Wow, I tried this on my 2013 S Cab without PSE, and hated the new sound. It sounds horrible just a loud muffled sound with no character. Maybe some cars sound different. I drove a few miles and went straight back to the garage to reverse it. BTW I was able to reach the T connector from the top passenger side after removing the fans. I put a rubber stopper over the vacuum Port and wrapped some vinyl tape over the connector that I removed. But like I said, it wasn't that way for long.

Mine are capped love the sound!! However, I do have that damn check system light that comes on. The valves are capped and clamped at the ends. Any ideas of how to clear that?

Well I’ve added catless headers as well now. It sounds wicked. There’s a little drone nothing too bad. With just the valves always open before the headers I didn’t have drone. I also ended up with a pro Cobb tune which eliminated any warnings.

I am seriously thinking about doing this mod as I love the way my C4S sounds with the valves open (non-PSE exhaust). My shop says they have done a few of these. Said they have done the same thing to Ferrari 458's. Wondering if anyone has a video of what this mod sounds like... thanks
