Wastegate muffler installed
After 6 months of running an open wastegate I finally grew tired of it so decided to put the muffler off of my Yamaha Warrier 4 wheeler on the dump tube to see how it sounded. The muffler was actually a Supertrap aftermarket with a removable baffle. I took the baffle out to make sure I didn't hinder the flow. Somehow it fit great under there. I squeezed it in next to the main exhaust. It is a little louder in the car cause it now exits right under the pasenger seat and gives an enexpecting passenger quite a scare. I am sure it is quieter out side the car, since before people have said that riding next to me with an open WG it sounded like putting your ear up to a sub-machine gun. The car sounds alot like my Warrier inside. If it sounds that way outside the car I will look for a better exhaust, but this is what I could come up with Saturday.
PS. The bungie cord was temporary.

Does the bike muffler produce less backpressure than the piping back into the exhaust mod, when using a 3 in exhaust system from DP, through MP and out?

late 70's to mid 90's porsche turbos run a seprate muffler for the wastegate, you can usually find them for a reasonable price because they take them off and run them open. Check www.pelicanparts.com in the classifieds section. the muffler is only 5 or 6 inches long and about 3 inches in diameter.

I found one that was for sale and that has a pic. I might be interested in getting one of these now.

Someone should get one of these, and let us know how it turns out. I would get one but my car is no where near being done.
