been thinkin about getting a screamer pipe ..for the hell of it ..and put it on while i get the intercooler fitted ...although what daunts me is what will be the results ......the cars fairly loud now ..does get a bit of attention as it is .... but i just wanna replace the standard dump pipe to some more "beefer"

i've neva heard a screamer pipe on a car b4 ... well maybe ..i'm not sure what i'm listenin for

are there any down falls to it .....any like things to be aware of ..ie the screamer pipe making any flames or somthing?

but on the same token ..do u gain about the same power gains to a split setup? just not venting it to atmosphere ..

anyone have either one ... anycar ..doesnt matter . just wanna see what ppl have found with em ...... and if one or the other is worth buying over the other .....

thanks for your time.

Matt

i heard a screamer on a mates 180sx SR20 and it sounds rather ugly, leaks at idle so sounds abit wierd and once getting up it, it is amazing the noise that is produced, when racing him i cant even hear my own car. Seems to produce abit more top end, but i cant see there being any advantages over a split dump setup

i've got one on mine, its flaged so i can plumb it in if i want to.

If you want, ill take ya for a quick burn in my car so you can hear it???

Mines pretty loud as its coming of a big Ext Gate and has a pretty big pipe to boot.

I must admit, they are farking angry as shit when it comes on boost.

Real feral growl.

But after getting it plumbed back in today, i'd almost be tempted to leave it.

Screamer is good... but once you make it quiet, and with a big turbz, all you can hear is this crazy areoplane kinda noise when the turb is on song. And the car truely sounds faster i reckon

But depends on my mood i guess.

are there any down falls to it .....any like things to be aware of ..ie the screamer pipe making any flames or somthing?

while i think of it, evertime i give it a hard drive i get some funny smells :)

just as the red-hot air is hitting the underside.

Not damage being done though from my checking, but the smell is going slowly so it must be burning some shit off

yea ash would be sweet to actually hear one "first ear" ..... as i'm still weighting up my options for turbo ..either t04e wastegated or internal... i really just dont know ..i know there loud .. as everyone has said ..... but i'm used to hearing 370ci plus sprintcars at 15feet away rifle around a 1/4 mile dirt track .. more noise doesnt hurt .. much ..unless u over 128db ..(aka threshold of pain)

only concern is getting reamed by the jacks on a nite out somewhere minding my own burnouts .. i mean business.... :) ..but it happens as they say..

Matt

screamer means that you cant hit boost around other cars/people without everyone knowing for about a 2km radius. it is a bit of fun, but i was always planning on plumbing mine back to the exhaust.

oh and i dont think it would be that far away from the pain threshold :)

    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives. 
    • You don't have to be bored driving a Camry. Not based on the way that a couple of f**king Ubereats/Didi/othersortofmethaddlednightshiftattheservicestationrecentimmmigrants were piloting them on the way to work this morning. f**k me dead!
    • FWIW, the Bride reps are really nice to sit in. The only complaint I have, other than the tear in my bolster, is that the velcro used to hold the backrest cushion in place, up under the headrest, is a little obvious and intrusive and could probably be done better. I don't know if that is a "feature" on the genuine ones also though. I haven't looked at a genuine one like the ones I have, only some of the older models. The other thing is, even though I bought the CF ones, I think the CF is really just decorative, over the top of the same FG as the normal seats. And so they really aren't light. Between the solidly built CF/FG seat, the steel frame in the recliner mechanism, and the solid-arse seat rail, they are probably heavier than even the stock seat. They are a serious lift to get in and out of the car.
    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
