Soonto_HAS_soop Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 They are the pipe that is attached to an external wastegate and the tend to "scream" when pressurised air is fed through it to moderate boost pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Mine dumps the exhaust gases from the wastegate down to the road instead of down the exhaust. I had mine made will a little silencer on it to calm it a little but still fecking loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I seem to recall a car that had the screamer pipe extended and protruding out the side of the car behind one of the front wheels. Bet that scared the sh*t out of people walking down the street when you opened the throttle next to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 To be honest, the idea of a screamer pipe is tempting me to go single all on it's own I remember hearing one at Bovingdon (might've been Matt Harwood's car but not sure ) and from a distance it sounded awsome, kind of like the new Aston V8 on full-pelt Whether or not I could live with one day to day is another matter!

I love the sound my single makes. From the Chatter of the wastegate and the Hisssssh of my BOV, to the sound the sheer volume of air being pushed through the pipes makes and the screamer pipe. Completely transforms your car. I do wish now that i had some sound dampening though cos it sooooo much louder. Might make that a mod over the winter. Strip the interior and soundproof it.

Scoboblio Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 What's it like for motorway driving Gareth? I take it it doesn't really make a difference until you're on full boost and the WG has to control the airflow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garetheves Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 What's it like for motorway driving Gareth? I take it it doesn't really make a difference until you're on full boost and the WG has to control the airflow? Very loud. Can still hear the steroe but not amazingly. Then again i am only on stock speakers which i plan on upgrading at some point, that would make a difference. Must admit very long journeys can become a bit loud. It is incredibly loud on WOT but still very loud (louder than a TT) When "Cruising". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thanks Doesn't sound right for me then. I love the idea of the noise on WOT, but I like long distances to be a lot quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 anyone got a sound clip as I was wondering how much noise difference my NA will make with a turbo, External WG and Screamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I have a video of one on an MR2: http://www.megaboost.co.uk/video/mr2/mr2-wastegate.mpeg (right click > "save as" please) I'm looking forward to having two of these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I take it it doesn't really make a difference until you're on full boost and the WG has to control the airflow? Correct, its dumping gas when the wastegate is in use so only on boost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Thats not the same one ive seen the but the same idea. The one i saw actually had the pipe coming out of a custom hole in the wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Sorry to bring this up again but it's intrigued me now.... presumably the wastegate only has to bypass exhaust gas to the screamer pipe when you've reached your desired boost, be it 1bar, 1.4 etc.... so why is it noisier than a normal wastegate setup when you're cruising on the motorway well below that boost? Sorry for the n00b questions everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 The screamer pipe doesn't make any difference when crusing, but a single in general is much louder that the stock setup because of the lack of complicated pipework muffling things. They can also drone more than stock cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
