This may sound dumb, but for the wastegate dump tube, do I just weld it on the wastegate flange and to the downpipe?

If you can't stand the open WG, route it into the DP like mine:

If you dont want attention, keep the revs down ;) My car can be quite low key when I want it to be.

and they sound like crap when you rev them up. i hate the sound of open dump tube. you can put a small muffler on the tube to quite it down if you dont want to recirculate it.

When I'm going full throttle up to 6800 rpms or so...I'm worried more about driving than about the sound of my exhaust or lack thereof ;) If your paying any real attention to the sound it makes, then I'm a bit worried!

it doesn't matter now, after listening to bbandits car for awhile when he is on boost I realized that it really isn't that loud and he still have stock exhaust. my exhaust should quiet it down alittle and i shouldn't be speeding around town anyways. thanks for the info/advice, on another note we have started my turbo install right now and will make another post on it once we really start to get dirty.

in fact for EXTRA good sound, rout it into the cabin. it's good for a free high and also if ur heater breaks in the winter.also good idea if you have cold hands/feet from poor blood circulation from logn periods of driving, and you need something to keep you warm. and toasty.ORrout it through the hood(make hole in hood), so it sticks up, like the big rig guys'.the KA is called a truck motor for SOMEthing, right?

ok ok no flaming, just pokin fun.
