excuse the lack of knowledge but can someone tell me exactly what a screamer pipe is for and what it does ?
i've heard of a screamer pipe but never had any experience with one so was just wondering.
A screamer pipe is conected to your external wastegate. Once you hit an ex amout of boost (what ever psi spring rate you have) your wastegate then opens up, and the boost then exits outta your screamer pipe. Usually u have them pointing down into a safe location.
Ya then get this loud screaming noise (some like it some dont) maybe thats why they call em screamer pipes? lol.
Hope that gives ya an idea mate.
Id post some pics up ov 1 but dont have any sorry.
yeah you can run a screamer with internal gate if you have a 2 piece downpipe. ie. downpipe and wastegate are seperated, gate vents to atmo.

incase you were wondering..
the only real benefits of having a screamer pipe are slightly improved exhaust flow out of the turbo,less turbulance in the system (when the wastegate is open) but you wont notice any difference by driving it on the road (apart from the racket they make :haha: )
lol nope..
the turbo exhaust side will have the wastegate flap (as seen on the left) and the big hole on the right is where the exhaust turbine sits. a normal downpipe or decat pipe will have them venting together in the same pipe, a screamer pipe will look like the one above, where the wastegate has its own pipe, which vents straight to atmosphere, rather than letting it exit through the exhaust system like it normally would
some rep for the useful pics dantheman!!
