Has anyone tried to put a muffler on the end of their dump tube? Im looking for something to make the dump tube less noisey, Yes I know it can be rerouted but you will loose some power doing that. I was going to try to extend the tube by a few feet or so to see if that helps any. Anyone have any other ideas I would love to hear them!

 

Dude, in all honesty. Ditch the o2 dump. Its loud and annoying and it gets old really fast. Invest in a QTEC of some sort and be able to go Open Downpipe on the fly. Its the best thing since sliced bread IMO.

Hmmmm. That sounds like a good idea. I know with me Turbo set up that i have to jack up my car when i go to the track and take the time to take off the s-pipe each time. I would definately look into getting this.

 

If you ar talking about the dump from the external WG, then route it into your exhaust.

 

He doesnt want to do that because it might loose some power..

Id route it back into my downpipe and run a QTEC or equiv.

 

Please explain why it would loose power? Sounds like something a shop told him since they are too lazy to do the work. Go to a good exhaust shop and have them fab one up.

 

I dont understand it either. Hense my ... lol

 

Well I think b-cuz of air traveling out @ high speeds thruogh the dump tube would obviously provide more power cuz theres no restriction, but if it went throught the pipe then it would have to hit the CAT and the Exhaust b-4 getting released into the air

 

I was wondering if a silencer @ the end of the tube would do the trick.

 

I put a remote dump on my car a few weeks ago, and put my stock exhaust back. Ultra sleeper mod until I open it

 

So route it back into the downpipe and have a remote open downpipe...its the best bet, I doubt anything will quiet an open dump tube, be sides rerouting it.

Open Downpipe on the fly, For the Win!

 

TRUE TRUE

 

That would only matter if your wastegate didn't provide enough flow out of it. At the 5-10PSI that you will be using it for, this is not an issue at all.

 

I'm running an open dump tube, i love it

 

Kool well I think thats good enough for me I'll go ahead and route my dump tube to my exhaust cuz the dump tube sounds nasty after about three thousand rpms.

What exhaust setup would you guys recommend for me? Im only pushing 4psi but putting out about 265hp to the wheels.

 

Stock exhaust, with an electronic cutout or a 2.5in S-Pipe back.

 

Having the wastegate dump into the downpipe will loose some amount of power because it is now more restricted. Not to sound cocky but I am the exhaust shop!! I try to do as much as I can without taking my car places. That way I know what has been done. I cut some pipes and just dumped the wastegate back into the downpipe for now welded it up and called it a day... I was just trying to get some users input on how they have theirs setup, for people to reference too..

 

I understand why you and others are saying it would be more restricted, but wonder if you're considering the complete equation. Wouldn't (or at least couldn't) exhaust pulse scavenging possibly improve the performance, due to effectively relieving the restriction, even when compared to an open pipe?

 

Hmm you bring up a valid point. But it seems alot of tests have found that open tube is still the best way to go. Im going to check into this more...

 

dump tubes are tight man... they're the vibes down or' here..most of the turbz here are dump... but it sound cooler and less beastly w/o....

up to you thou...
