i just got a cusco lower arm bar and my wastegate dump tube is in the way of where i would mount the bar. is it okay to just take the dump tube off? i dont care how loud it is. if i left the tube on i would only be like 2 inches before it runs into the bar. its a tial external wg.

Fun as hell for about 5 minutes. Anytime I've done open dump (by the insistence of the owner) he's come back a week later to have it routed into the downpipe.

until you are driving in town and want to get on it even a little without having the whole town turn their head in the direction of your car.

i guess if you're an attention ***** its a good thing, but in california it'll just get your car impounded.

it'll turn heads for sure, but it isnt necessary to route it back into the DP. Maybe in CA.
