Who's running only downpipe?
 

I just installed a downpipe in my turbo, and I got to say that it sounds like ----. I runned without a downpipe for like 2 days, and it didnt sound so bad; now its kinda loud. I want to run just downpipe and no muffler, is anybody doing the same setup,no downpipe? And where does your downpipe end?

uhm

thatll make your engine bay hotter then ----, also u will die of exhaust in the interior..

not to mention how loud it is! cops will ---- ya up..

strap a cherrybomb on that beast at least and direct it away from your face a little bit ;D

I took a ride in Jason Parker's hatch...the creator of turboEDIT.

his open downpipe flange (no downpipe, just a turndown off the turbine housing) was quieter than my NA car with a 2.5" exhaust, cat, resonator, and tip

I meant to say whos running just a downpipe and nothing else. And how quiet is it?

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

I did run my car a few days with just a downpipe, and it wasn't nearly as loud as many N/A cars with open exhaust. But it was pretty loud when boost kicked in and the wastegate opened, also there's a lot of noise inside the car if your exhaust exits under the middle of the car rather than going out the back. In either case you really want to get the exhaust away from the engine and air intake. A good place to exit on the drag hondas seems to be in front of either front tire.

i ran an open DP for a week or so with the turbo B18A...it was loud, but i dont think it was too loud. the turbo sounded bad ass though! you can seriously hear that bitch spool up!!!

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

:D U LOVE IT :D

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

do you guys have any sound clips running open downpipe or no downpipe?

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

i ran open downpipe on my setup and it was too lound for my taste. it sounded like ---- too and im sure it raised underhood temps way above normal.

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

I have an open down pipe, that ---- is to loud. Its not streetable with the cops around. sounds like red necks big gay dick sucking trucks.

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

Yeah mine was loud as well...but I'll do it again, but I think i might just make my exhaust all the way to the back and leave it without a muffler...only got a stock muffler now...

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

Prior to my bearings going out i was running downpipe and i loved it. And before the turbo i ran a straight header pipe when i was n/a in houston. But I likem loud :P

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

open dp sounds cool as ---- (it isnt really loud unless your at full throttle and the wastegate opens up) , plus im too lazy to make a full exhaust, and too poor to buy a nice one

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

loud as ---- and sounds like a WRX. The turbo spooling makes me cream in my pants. Alows for some gains in HP and sounds cool too.

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

i'm running just downpipe right now and i love it!! its a bit loud but the spool of the turbo makes it worth it! open exhaust housing is the best though.....mine sounded like a ------- semi truck spooling everywhere ZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZ it was great!!! now with the d.p its louder but you can still hear the ZZZZzzzZZZ spooling of the turbo and i love it!!! i'm gonna stick a 3" all the way back with no cat, its should still sound good.. i love turbo's!

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

running open exhaust housing is a bad idea. It will cause your turbo to over spool and ruin the bearings. Not a good idea.

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

Overspool and ruin bearings? With a good boost controller you can control spikes and it will not ruin your bearings


My open downpipes threw off my o2 readings, it wasn't reading any voltage at WOT. once I put an exhaust on it ran much better

Re:Who's running only downpipe?
 

my friend at work ran his dp from the turbo under the engine with a turn down and it left a black spot from him warming it up everyday
