sup guys, ive had my 3" monkey warehouse screamer on for about 1mth now. and i have to say i like it alllloot.

basically.....well u guys know the setup.

seperate pipe for wastegate....yea u know it.

just want to know if there are any specific pro's or cons'

atm it is running sweet.

=edit. also, would it be better to have a bellmouth, although a tad restrictive.

or keep the screamer, as the wastegate gas is seperated, =no turbulance in dump pipe.

Con: They are fun for a while,then they are noisy and annoying

Con: If you get taken over the pits prepare to bend over.

ha yea, im starting to miss the spool up noise. the screamer kicks in at about 2500rpm.

when i get sick, ill go a bellmouth dump pipe.

love the spool

pro

free exhaust backpressure release

i guess if you like the sound, then the sound

cons

major defect and epa violation (risk of big fine)

exhaust gas / heat in the engine bay area (could be burning stuff etc)

The only pro is noise.

If the exhaust is designed well from the outset, then plumbing in should not pose a restriction.

I had one when i was external gate, i must admit i dont mind how quiet my car is now

im with u 2bnvs.

but i must admit that if i get bored, i can just bolt on my jjr bellmouth.

but i do love the screamer pipe. especially with 5k+revs.

sounds just like a jet engine

personally I think screamer on an internal gate turbo (what you have) is pretty lame. a proper screamer (on an external gate) like what most people in this thread are talking about is an aquired taste. sounds impressive, but also sounds a bit 'dirty'.

Screamer's are illegal in QLD it's just that most cops here are not car wise and wouldn't have a clue what one was. It's coming though, cops are getting trained to identify things like this. At the moment as long as you don't have a BOV placed visibly under the bonnet your generally right, you can have whatever you want.

You must agree though due to the laws of physics, an identical exhaust without the wastegate plumbed back into the exhaust (screamer pipe) is always going to flow better than an exhaust with the wastegate plumbed back.. :whistling:

The only pro is noise.

Well ye to an extent. If the exhaust flows enough, then there is nothing to offer.

Seen a number of cars go internal or screamer. Didn't make a difference to them.

But then my own car lost a good chunk, that was due to me only having a 3" and over 300rwkw :whistling:

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
