You release the wastegate exhaust gas directly into the atmosphere and not back into the exhaust system.

 

When wastegate gases are dumped to the atmosphere through a short pipe and not routed back to the exhaust

The short pipe is the screamer

 

 

Thats techincally not a screamer pipe as its plumbed back into the exhaust.

 

But it is still an external one.

 

No its an external wastegate, as in its not inside the turbo with an actuator.

The screamer pipe is the small pipe that comes off the external wastegate and vents to atmosphere, the one in your pic is going back into the exhaust.

 

Look at the middle exhaust on an F40

Cheers Mook,

I've always wondered why the F40 had three tailpipes when it's a V8.

ive heard a few cars going passed with a screamer fitted and they sound crap!!

i think thats why alot of people prefer to re-route the pipe back into the exhaust so you dont hear that awful sound.

 

If you think they sound awful I dont think youve heard one, and if you have, maybe a diesel of some desrciption will be more suitable for you!

 

are they of any benefit though?

 

not that i know of, just sound loud! not for the faint hearted

 

@mjwebb48-what ever flicks your switch mate.

bet you wear a hooded top and a burberry hat, and drive around in your dads car with a fake dump valve giving it WHOOOSHH!!! in Aldi car parks trying to impress all the schoolies.
