Screamer Dump Pipe

[LBR33]

I was just wondering if anyone has a audio clip of a Screamer Dump Pipe fitted to their skyline

[redline2003]

most dyno runs of the BMTS.15 200sx, vls, gtrs off full boost.com run a scream pipe with on the dyno, all i can say is, even hearing it on computer, it sounds nothing like it in real life, its that loud.

[LBR33]

Are they legal ?

[Ronin 09]

no not at all.

[LBR33]

not even a tiny bit legal

[redline2003]

i wish they were legal

[Merli]

not even a tiny bit legal

Let me put it this way.

Screamer pipe = exhaust gasses coming straight out of the engine, and being dumped into atmosphere.

i.e. It bypasses the catalytic convertor.

Say hello to a $10,000 fine for bypassing emissions standards devices.

how hard is it to bolt on a cat to the screamer pipe

have a look at the old porka 911 turbos that have a screama with a cat attached. shit it would only cost about 200 bux... dont know if she would pass a noise test though!!!

all i can say is, even hearing it on computer, it sounds nothing like it in real life, its that loud.

Agreed. I heard it off a PC etc... but once i got my setup completed

It was way louder than i thought with the ext gate etc. And im not even running much boost yet so it'll probably get a bit louder.

It's highly addictive noise, i love it.

Screamin past a car, tight street/tunnel at full song gives you a wicked noise.

What you can do, is just get a flange made up for the screamer to plumb into the dump pipe just before that CAT, costs stuff all if you can weld.

Then you can dump it or plumb it in when you like.

if uve got a screamer - most cases u have a bigger turbo - so if a cop is gonna get u he may as well as get u for everything

unless ur in nsw then they take points off ur licence

[R31Nismoid]

Such is the joy of a low mount turbo.

They cant see one thing, not my turbo, wastegate, screamer... nothing

[KamikazeR33]

i was thinking of getting a whole peice of metal to cover everything thats under the turbo, so screamer is hidden cept if u can get ur head under the car (leprechauns?)

[LBR33]

they wouldnt be able to see the screamer pipe with the stock heat shield in place and stock turbo

[KamikazeR33]

ur pretty much right i think

[R31Nismoid]

a screamer with a stock turbo?

eh? Dont you need an ext gate? As the stock turbo plumbs back in doesnt it?

(my limited knowledge shows)

If you went total screamer... you'd be playing with fire as it'd be loud all the time, not just when the gate is open.

a screamer with a stock turbo?

(my limited knowledge shows)

Nah, your thinking of the BOV. the BOV plumbs back to the turbo ti keep it spinning. waste gates either vent to the exhaust (internal) or to the atmosphere (external).

[KamikazeR33]

nah ash u can have a screamer on a std turbo, its just in 1 flange - the wastegate side has 1 pipe and the back of the turbo has the other pipe

[R31Nismoid]

I know what a BOV is and how they work

Thanks Kam... i get ya.

My old Int gated turbo just had it plumb back to the one exhaust hole. Thats why i was wondering. Never to worry. Bit of a waste for a std turb if you ask me

[KamikazeR33]

internal gated turbos just dont hold boost as well as externals

we both know that

[LBR33]

mmmmm............ more noise
