If you've got one, and get defected, you will have to remove it. You can be defected because of it. Yes, it will give you more power, as you're getting rid of exhaust quicker, and there are less restrictions.

but if it's set up to drop automagically after the rpm stated in the whatever 3000rpm or what not where it needs to be bellow the specific db level, i wonder if you could get it engineered and be sweat I mean they come stock like that on a few cars.... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i wasnt going to have mine setup to drop automatically n yeah i wonder if theyre a defective item cuz when the cut out is closed so theres nothing bad bout that but i read a thing about defects and i could count 12 different things on my car that arnt legal ie spool plenum so 1 more isnt going to hurt also i live on the qld nsw border my car is registered in qld but i do alot of driving in nsw can they deffect me in nsw.the only thing ive ever been defected for is bald tyres there pretty leanint around here

You can find more info on the QTP website.... http://www.quicktimeperformance.com

Why would you want all that noise to attract the police? when converting to turbo i had to make up a bit of pipe between dump and cat, there was about a few mm around the pipe that was not sealed, eg 2 1/2 inch into 3 inch or something. that was loud as, sounded like i was sitting right above the exhaust and felt the thumping. this was only temporary just to get to the exhaust shop. you certainly wont want to be loud for long!

yep seen a vid on youtube with these, seem like an alright idea.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJQze6jyilc Pretty sweet 300c

These systems are very popular with the Hot rod and Custom guys that's for sure.

Quote: Originally Posted by SirGeo I remember your thread. what happened.. you decided against it...? i bought up some parts to make my own... a vacum actuator, an old throttle body and some 2.5" pipe lol. i got distracted then blew a water pump and overheated, now i'm considering smoothing my bay and going turbo so it's on the back-burner for a few months, i'll do it for sure xcept now it might have to be 3" pipe Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Im thinking about putting one in my car. I would only put it in if I decide to make a 3.5" exhaust. As it would be really loud id put it in the actual exhaust so I could quieten the car down when I want to. I went to a couple of exhaust joints and they are trying to talk me out of a 3.5" exhaust. They say just go 3" and drop it when I race it.

I've seen some that operate on the vacuum of the engine (actuator), they are always advertised in Street Machine. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

also a thrread on this herehttp://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=129387 i like your thoughts though sirgeo!

X-Force do it for there 3" dual commodore exhaust systems... I think

Ive always thought of doing something like that...

im getn 1 il post up a vid when i get it crackn

i think the ideas pretty cool , sorry for the stupid question but what is screamer? how does it work and what does it do? thanks.

A screamer pipe is a pipe that comes off your waste gate, so on full boost, all the extra exhaust gas the turbo does not need is let down a short pipe into the atmosphere.. It only opens on full boost.. so it is VERY loud and good for performance
