I thought this was cool, never seen it done before, by anyone I know at least..





One question though, shouldn't the o2 sensor still pick up those wastegate air, or does it not matter? Because by the way it looks on the pics, it wont. Anyways, any experiance with these or know how they sound, etc.

It's okay if you want to vent your dumped exhaust to the atmosphere. The O2 sensor location is okay, so no need to worry about it.

Ya just realized the 02 is fine where it is, just didnt look right. And im not too concerned about dumping the exhuast out, im not running a cat anyway (not by choice), so it doesnt matter at this point.

It sounds alright.....not my taste, which doesn't matter. Sounds normal until WOT, then it is loud as sh*t.

Here is a better example.....sounds like a civic with the intake resonator box removed

Is that for CA's or SR's? Open wastegate can net you a couple of horsepower with tuning.

cheesegates are fun. Try firing it out the hood. Downshift fireballs FTW

I believe it should fit both, but only rhd steering racks. So any 240sx' ers here are out of luck. Can probly easily be done with some custom work tho, who knows.

I loved the sound of my buddies srt when he had one, but those on youtube dont sound great. Oh well, I'll pick one up, and if I dont like it, im sure i can get 100 shipped for it.

They probably said that while they were trying to put it on WHILE the motor was already inside the bay. I put mine on before I dropped my motor in. I heard it's a ***** to get on and off if it's already in the engine bay.
