Have seen a few threads around recently... either asking the best way to put a screamer on a std internally gated turbo... and seen alot more screamer type dumps available.

what's the deal? even though they sound crap, is this the new thing? will someone make some for my GTR?

is this the new under-car neons / backwards stickers on the front doors?

Mate are you serious...... do you think they sound like crap? The benifit is quicker spool up thus more power earlier by keeping the exhaust gases seperate and reducing turbulance in the exhaust pipe witch puts less stress on the exhuast wheel, not too mention the crazy sound :happy: hope that helps mate

That's the biggest load of shit I've ever heard.

How does a screamer pipe give you quicker spool up?

It only works once the turbo has already spooled up and the wastegate has opened, it gives you better top end, yes. But unless you're running 400+ hp, theres no point, especially through the stock turbo.

Less stress on the exhaust wheel? How does an atmo venting wastegate do that?

Crazy sound? it sounds like an exhaust leak.

Yes my mistake, you are right about the spool up part...... but i wouldnt say its pointless. For instance BATMBL's split dump pipes have been dyno proven to make more power in the top end, even though his plumbs back into the exhaust the idea is essentially the same. As for the sound, some like it and some dont..........

Using BATMBL's dumps is the same thread as int gated screamers is wrong.

Thats comparing apples & oranges as they are not the same thing save for maybe the materials they are made from.

Marcus, its the latest thing as you said. Its come with the whole "drifting" thing thats going on of late. Noticed that "everyone" these days seems to be drifting?

It will pass, hopefully sooner rather than later.

GROUP BUY IN ASSORTED ANODISED COLOURS :D:):D

External gates sound tough ,but for street not really a great idea, the fine is like 10k or something like that.

but you may never get caught but yas know how it is and i guess just not worth all the hastle

on a stocker, i thought about it at one stage but yeah ,had to be realistic.

But on the same note i have also read the having you pipe plum back in would create

more scavangning and would actually increse exhaust flow speed in plumed correctly.

Anyhow that is my 2cents

goodnight all

I wouldnt worry too much, I wouldnt be suprised if in the next 12 - 18 months the "street-drag" scene in Japan comes alive again with RH9, 0-300, drag style events. Then everyone will be back to loud exhausts and stickers :D

Is it still a screamer pipe if it plumbs back into the exhaust pipe? Just about to install a split dump....will I get a different sound to it or is the different sound only apply to screamers that don't plumb back into the pipe...

Cheers,

(BTW Stock internal w/gated turbo)

a screamer is when it DOESNT go into the exhaust, hence it screames when the air is vented out to atmosphere,

ben...

Thank god. Cheers mate. I love the sound of my car..I dont want it to change :whistling:

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
