I've got a screamer pipe on my stock turbo rb20. I don't know how it sounds outside of the car, but from inside it sounds pretty mean when the wastegate opens up. It also cured some boost spiking issues i was having with the stock setup.

so u guys reckn it will sound shit on the twin turbos ??

yo turko, try and understand it has nothing to do with single turbo, twin turbo or tripple turbo. a screamer pipe runs from the outlet of the wastegate and vents to atmosphere. now there are generally used on external wastegates. some GTRs with twin kits have twin wastegate, some have singles, even some single kits have twin wastegates. it's got nothing to do with how many turbos you have. The reason it will sounds like a leaking exhaust on your cars is that you are running standard turbos which have INTERNAL WASTEGATES. that is they are integrated into the exhaust housing of each turbo. with that being the case it's very hard to get it completely sealed from the exhaust gas flowing through the turbine.

I say do it you will be the envy of your mates.

Hahaha, nice call.

BEST way to turn heads whilst on full boost, which means you are probably going fast, which means the cops will defect you cause they will think you are a dick and then because they are defecting your engine bay, they probably won't stop at the exhaust leak. I wouldn't do it unless you never see police cars where you are.

ok i was proven wrong on the weekend, went for a ride in my mates Cefiro, RB20, as far as i know stock turbo, a 3" straight thru system (if u know what i mean). and a screamer.

It sounded AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i took a video on my phone but its crap

Not to mention the fact that because they're stock turbos (reads small turbos running off 3 cyl each) and the fact that they're ceramic so you can't run high boost, each turbo won't be pushing much cfm of air. As a result, when the wastegate opens and lets the air out the screamer, this 'little' amount of air sounds bad, as mentioned above, like an exhaust leak.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
