CSaddict- your setup is gorgeous. It really could just be art. BUT... i like open dump tube. hahhha. though yours does look nice plumbed back in

 

open dump FTW!!

 

You only hear it when the WG is open which is ususally when you're in it which tends to mean you're trying to go fast so you're not worried about sounds and convience. Sounds really raspy, but is much easier to fab. People are making it sound like you hear it the whole time, only when the WG opens...who cares? Chances are you have large diameter exhaust and a chattering 6-puck and a rattle box cabin from solid motor mounts so what's such a big deal with an open dumptube that you'll hear only when you're at full boost.

Easier to fab? look at the pic right about you, they put multiple bends in to route it around the downpipe instead of into the downpipe. Hell looks like it would be easier and cheaper to fab personally.

 

mine runs open into the drivers side fender but i can barely hear it over the turbo when its open. on low boost setting (7psi) i can hear it much more. sounds like a shitty exhaust leak.

 

Depends on set-up and orientation of everything, but you still have to cut into the downpipe and feed the dumptube in.

Just because I like for my ride to raise some hell sometimes that makes me a ricer?? I wouldn't have a fart can on my car OR fagmasters on a V8...Anyways, I'm gonna talk to the guy who will be fabbing up my downpipe and see what he says about it, and go from there...

 

Open dump get's old. I'd throtle it to right before it opened because I hated the sound. I planned on recircing it, but everything is getting redone .

All you'll hear is vroooooom BLLLLALAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA PISSSSHT BLALLAAAAAAAAAAAAA, you won't be able to hear much else. 2.5L venting out of a 1.75 inch tube sounds like ***, and it'll crack it at 35% throttle.

Leaving it open is only worth about 5 HP on the Spec, not worth the noise. You want me to recirc it for you?

 

i'm also a fan of the open dump.. call me a ricer

 

2.5L venting out of a 1.75 inch pipe sound like poo, at least on a Spec V, but that's just my opinion. It's just TOO loud on THIS MOTOR, imo, and sleeper totally goes out the window.
