Default Re: Screamer pipe

ok like o.g i search for screamer pipe on wikpedia and this came under wastegate
Quote:
A "divorced" wastegate dumps the gases directly into the atmosphere, instead of returning them with the rest of an engine's exhaust. This is done to prevent turbulence to the exhaust flow and reduce total back pressure in the exhaust system. Divorced wastegate dumper pipes are commonly referred to as "screamer pipes" due to the unmuffled waste exhaust gasses and the associated loud noises they produce.

so would i be right by saying rather than the wastegate sending the exhaust gas down the exhaust . it sends it down a dedicated exhaust pipe

and whats wrong with having a little 1ltr car with a 4" pipe and 6" tail pipe it gives me 15bhp then i get another 10 from the induction kit

your right thou too many people go along with the more noisy the faster it goes





wrapping the exhaust is supposed to lower the under bonnet temperatures
