Screamer Pipes

[Justa32]

just got my wastegate and it has a screamer pipe attached wot exactly does it do?

[DCIEVE]

part one of the question should be 'what is a wastegate'....

[Justa32]

nah im just wondering why there connected to gates, but also connected else where?

[ZILR-34]

they sound tuff thats wat they are meant to do

[Justa32]

so its just another way of venting gas?

[murrayis]

A Screamer pipe allows the Exhaust coming from the wastegate from entering the exhaust system and dumps the gases into the atmosphere causing them to be very lous and tuff when controlling the boost levels

sounds like your just in it for attention?

basically man, nothing.

people are either too lazy to get it welded and plumbed in. or like me my wastegate was venting onto the bottom of the engine=lots of soot. so got it routed out of that position

got mine plumbed back about 4wks ago.

honestly man. no difference.

i think people believe it gives more powah because it 'sounds faster'

Actually Brad, thats where you are wrong, it can make quite a difference depending on circumstances.

If your exhaust is slightly restrictive, plumbing the gate in can cause problems. I know i lost a good amount of power plumbing mine in as i only had a 3" exhaust over 300rwkw which is pushing the relationship WITHOUT a gate because thats all i could fit.

Plumb the gate in, instant power loss due to the added backpressure in the system. Vent the gate, problem gone

how embarrassing.

i retract my previous statement IF u have over 300-350kw

So did you end up staying with the 3" after venting the gate or did u eventually replace with a bigger system?

That would only ever happen to you wouldn't it.

Yes it will effect it if there is a restriction. Get you exhaust fixed so there is no restriction. 3" exhaust is enough to supply 600hp.

Yeah i didnt really think a 3" exhaust would restrict power at 300rwkw.......at 350-400 yeah but surely not at 300 unless the mufflers are that restrictive?
