Skullzaflare Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 This is prob the only time I would recommend a ChinaBay wastegate 5psi spring to open at 15psi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonnieJ Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Not sure haven't had any fist hand experience with it. We sell to the shop that did these. Pretty cool idea. I thnk you can get a chinese 60mm gate for 100ish bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thnk you can get a chinese 60mm gate for 100ish buckswith no exhaust pressure (preturbo pressure) it takes around 10 psi more than spring in the diaphragm to open it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skullzaflare Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 honestly that just sounds like a open dump wastegate, not the wastegate cutout lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted March 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 After doing some research I have found that the bullet mufflers don't seem to quiet the exhaust so much as remove rasp in the exhaust note. I'm not sure, like someone else had said, I could find a muffler small enough to make any real difference in noise and still fit. Kind of kills the idea.

RonnieJ Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 We actually made our own for the 2015 WRX. Can't fit any big mufflers that will actually quiet it down. I'll send you the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I have mine run as far back as possible near the rear tire to help with exhaust gasses and sound. I also have it pointed away from the car so exhaust wont build under the car at idle, and sound goes away from the car. It's not quiet or civilized in any way, but then it's better than a dump tube. I aslo have a muffler, that helps. It's still loud as heck when I get on the throttle. Not too terrible at idle or cruise, but everyone on the block still hears you coming. The muffler cuts the high pitch tones out. I also have a large turbine (T4 turbo) and tube headder, and non-recirculated WG dump tube, that changes the tone and sound on throttle. The dump tube exits right by the transmission at the lowest point on the car. When it opens, it's very noticable, but the car is in motion so you can't smell it and there are other noises going on at that point. It's set at 20 PSI, so it's closed most of the time anyway.

ucw458 Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Keeping peace with your neighbors is also kinda important if you want them to be civil with you. Bringing a really loud car back home at nite is a good way to piss them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_insanity Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Ive got a 2" dump pipe "y" style w my regular 3" exhaust. Dumps out the right fender and its wayyyy too loud to deal w on a daily basis. I made a cap for it to shut it up. I do t know where you will find room for the bullet muffler. I had a tough time getting a 2" pjpe thru there . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDemon Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 this topic is a few moths old but, I had a buddy that was running a 1Ga Talon AWD with a Big 16g turbo with fender exit exhaust, he DD that car and said his biggest problem was the fact that he would leave soot marks where he always started the car. if i can find the pictures i will upload a couple.

Aman Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I too have pondered this idea. I even had someone do a quick photoshop job too to try to convince myself even more. Still dunno if I want to do it. Also I thought the SQC would think I'm a ricer so that's another reason why I haven't done it. http://i.imgur.com/YE1nOGx.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm really close to saying screw it and buying the materials (which wouldn't be much) and making one just to test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
