Screamer Dump Pipes

[Bunta]

turning internally gated stock turbos to screamer is gay...does nothing and sounds gay too

if you really must do it get custom so that you can make the pipe longer...the really short ones sound awful.

i agree stock turbos sound shithouse with a screamer pipe, a big external wastegate though venting to atmo sounds AWESOME but just in regards to the fines.. i recently went over the pits, no cat and screamer... nothing wrong.. and also my mate 04RNZ in an rx3... t66 high mount turbo, no intake pipe/filter, no mufflers, screamer pipe, went over the pits and was out as quick as he came in and nothin happened to him... i think nsw is a little tougher as i lived there, but still out of all the car enthusiasts i know, and deal through with work, i have never seen/heard a fine issued that big.... i do remember seeing a guy get done for excessive noise, but no EPA fines..also my bro inlaw just had his screamer pipe put on his rx7 and got pulled over, nothing came from that, and everything was fine...

this is a true story, it happened to a friend of a friend of mine, he bought a r32 and it had a gutted cat.

he got stung by with a 4k fine when he got an EPA in Vic. dunno bout other states.

meh...atmo screamer and straight through exhausts ftw.

[ZENNON]

how can you tell if your cat is gutted? had the exhaust off when i changed the gearbox and it looked awfully empty...

just do it who cares its his car..

RICE EFFECT YO..

ok everyones bitchin about stuff, i know of two people who have had $9000+ dollar fines for screamer pipes they are a major defect which requires the vehicle to be returned to stock before it can be driven again....

Your mates got reamed then. How can they require you to return your car to stock because ONE thing doesn't comply. You are required to make the defecting thing comply with the law and that is ALL you don't have to rip off all your other legal mods just because you got done for one thing. If the two people you know did do as they were told they were very ill advised. The police cannot require you do remove modifications that are legaly applied simply as punishment for breaking a rediculous EPA law. I say it again atmo screamer pipes off large turbo's/wastegates not only sound tough, they give less restrictive flow....same goes for exhausts. Straight through is the only way!!!

Maybe just weld the cat heat sheild to the pipe so it looks like there's something there

Also screamer pipes & 2 flames FTW!

1.) if this is for sound, just loosen one of your dump pipe bolts..

the gasket will burn out on that corner and you will hear the same stupid god awful screaching sound of an exhaust leak... this is exactly how a stock turbo, internal wastegate to atmo will sound.

2.) I work for QLD Police.... they can and will fine you the $10K...

As with any cop.. it depends on the individual cop who stops you. and your attitude at the time.

I train with a couple of them who were so annoyed with the individual driver with a bad attitude that they made an example of them..

Also, unless you have an engineers certificate for "ANY" modification from stock, you can be made to remove it.

so the guy above where his mates had to return to stock is very much possible.

de-reg and dodgey road worthy will be and has been found out before too.

that caused a larger fine than the so called mythical $10K fine..

make of this what you will.
