I had my VQ vented to atmosphere... I hated it. I think it sounds like hell, not to mention the fact that I couldn't get all the way in it with my driver's side window down or it would literally leave my ear ringing. I much prefer recirculated.

Sounding like an F-14 taking off > sounding like some ratty *** DSM.

I'd still like to hear it in person. Hopefully there will be somoene at Z Fest with this setup.

I was considering doing this eventually when the motor is built and pushing more boost. Still debating, though.

my car sounds sick with the dump tubes, ask ZUL8R, Taurran, MaximumsportZ, or any of the Florida guys, i mean, under boost it sounds like a jet coming at ya !!


NOW... here is the downside. ever have a bad exhaust leak and when you get out of your car, well your clothes smell like you just mowed the lawn, well.... get used to that for sure.

your clothes WILL smell like exhaust, there is no way around it, only downside that i can see, but wanted to point that out....
