Well boys and girls as above, is it worth having, any gains from having one or is it just for the sound? Read on SWRC that people were getting a talking to over exhaust noise!

There was a couple of cars there, namingly the maroon R33 Skyline with Belfast Imports graphics among others running screamer pipes on Saturday. They aren't deemed too loud for the track, and can sound awesome when on song.

They are more so for noise, as opposed to anything else, but to me, they sound class. I was out for the final run in the R33 yesterday, and when in the car (with full interior), it indeed sounded great, even on standard boost, though it might havebeen helped by the 6-pot engine, as opposed to the 4's the majority of us be running.

If your after 1 for your SR20, they can be had for under ?100 sterling.

I know im getting, and my car will only be out of the shed for SWRC days, so its all god

Screamer pipes are needed on external wastegates as the wastegate is seperate on big ass turbo's! the pipe can run back into the downpipe so it doesnt
make so much noise, its down to choice..

But on a smaller turbo, you'll need an elbow that has a seperate pipe from where
the internal wastegate opens and allows the excess gasses flow seperately..
Dont know if theres any benifit really as id imagine all gasses flowing into the one
pipe should increase flow! wouldnt be sure though

But screamer pipes do sound cool!
