Default XR4I Janspeed turbo

Anyone know what the smaller pipe(about 25mm) is branching off the exhaust and exiting just behind the front wheel?

Cheers Mike

No idea mate, its my boss's car but just wondered what the pipe was for. What does the screamer pipe do??

Bloke who works next door reckons its because its a V6 with only one turbo but I've never heard of that before

As its a single turbo on a V6, its a link pipe for the two exhaust manifolds most likely ???

The janspeed turbo 2.8i xr4s do have an external wasegate so could be the screamer pipe.
