Well I currently run 4-4 but not the original mufflers. I had to get new slip-ons and They seem more restrictive and always ran a bit rich. Then a couple years ago I dropped in a K&N into the box and that brought it back from being rich.

I have pulled my slides though when checking things out. I do remove the bolt of course and the spring but never had to loosen the adjustment nut. Measuring isn't a bad idea at all. My only recommendation would be a digital caliper for greater accuracy. I am betting though that loosening the nut makes it a bit easier to get the slides out. I will have to try it. I DO have a slight stumble if I roll on a bit too fast.
