Washer OD matches uk mod bypass pipe OD, in my case 1.5". But you could use larger washer and grind to size.

Even if you find washer with OD that perfect matches your uk pipe OD, you still have to grind it to fit. Need to grind half the diameter of washer to match uk bypass ID. The washer OD ends up with a sort of keyhole shape.

The sawzall slot ends up being just smaller than washer thickness. So you have to hammer and large channel lock pliers force into place. That's a good thing, as it means it won't come loose, rattle, makes better seal, etc.

But you still need to use a hose clamp to hold in place, as once exhaust heats up washer can still fall out (don't ask me how I know!) If you need to remove one to try a different hole size, you can hammer the edge with a screwdriver to get it to slide out a little, then grab with vise grips and wiggle it out.

Once you're good with sound level, weld or jb weld in place.

Or just keep the hose clamp so you can retune for special occasions, etc. You'd want to add something to seal the slot along with the hose clamp for such long term use. Like maybe some

WOW I'm really bummed to hear this!
I recently purchased a GReddy Supreme SP exhaust and while the look, fitment, and deep throaty sound in between shifts and at VTEC sounds UHmazing the drone from like ~2K-4K is HORRIBLE (subjective).
For reference I had the prior version GReddy SP Elite exhaust on my RSX Type S and I freakin' loved it...made all the right sounds and no drone at all! Perhaps open top motoring would have a different effect?

In search for a better option and initial recommendations from your previous thread I hopped on the Tanabe Revel Medallion Touring which arrived today.
Based on your feedback I'm complementing not even opening it and returning (yep I'll have to eat the shipping cost:egads:).

Looks like back to stock for me...

You would likely like the Mugen exhaust.
