    I just cut the black rubber hose under the rear valance on the left side and put a fishtank airhose joiner in there that I blocked with a bit of stuff.
    I think it makes the car sound a lot better at urban speeds
    AND both exh tips get dirty

    Hi guys,

    I would like to do the ''Flapper Mod'' soon, but I keep seeing so many different ways and responses in completing the task. What's the best way to do it, so it can easily be reversed back to stock in the future.

    What are the steps?

    What tools do I need?

    I didnt find enough length of hose to form a kink.

    I just pinched with a pair of pliers and got my brother to rev the thing. Didn't notice a difference so left it as it was.

    Pair of cutters, bit of blocked tube to insert. To remove just use a bit of unblocked tube. Its not rocket science and wont affect anything.
    It does make a diff.. you need to drive it to enjoy.
