sounds good, eh lol, it's cool the first month. then u get so tierd of hearing that loud ass noice.

and another issue for me was noice lvl at the track. open wastegate is not alloved for racing.

I'm not to worried....I drive it maybe twice a week on the weekends. The only bad thing is I think I made two of my friends def in the lefts ears.

Yea, the open WG takes some getting used to , but man it sounds pretty good.

I love punching it and from ~4000 rpm to redline hearing that wastegate scream.. Loving the power from the single too :D

im debating weather to go open wastegate or plumed back in lol. whats the pros and cons of a screamer pipe?

ikari899 08-03-07 04:41 PM

pro(s):
SLIGHTLY, if at all, better flowing depending on your exhaust.
easier to make.

con(s):
way loud
may dump lots of soot all over the place

i always loved open gate, sounds awsome.

JIMMY54 08-04-07 09:57 PM

It really makes a mess in your engine bay, black soot everywhere not to mention the possibility of fire...?

WanKeL FD RX-7 08-06-07 10:17 PM

i run mine dumped too, love the sound... scares people too lol

I have mine dumped, it aims down and over so the engine bay stays clean. the passenger side frame rail though, probably already needs a cleaning
