It the exhaust from an external wastegate, when the wastegate lifts it dumps the gasses down the sreamer pipe taking the hot gasses out of the engine bay. Some people tie the pipe back into the exhaust to help with noise regs.

Yes can only run one with an external gate as normal turbo wastegates are built into the eahaust housing so dump in to the downpipe.

Thanks Euan just a pity both our cars didnt do as hoped, hope to get mine through to ava asap.

wicked stuff, cheers for the link mate, sounds amazing. perfect for high streets lol

xrchris

wouldnt say it amplifies the turbo noise it just screams at ya lol. his car was running circa 850bhp i think so may have been louder. but its the only car i can recal hearing one on. does sound the absolute nuts though

didnt someone on here have a screamer pipe on a rst using a t28 with internal gated

sure they made an elbow up to split the wastegate inside the turbo



theres a vid of it sumwhere at a track day a while ago its a white rst and sounded awsome when it went down the straights

Kelv has anyone tested your one in action? I have heard that ones that come off at 90 degrees like that really struggle to control boost at all....

And to everyone else. Don't forget Noise limits at trackdays. If you want to run on most tracks you will need to have the pipe silenced like mine.
