Exclamation Waste gate sounds awful

I cut my cat off and routed a pipe with a small fart can muffler, the wastegate goes straight to atmosphere and sounds like complete *** if i replace the waste gate will it sound a little bit cleaner? it sounds like someone put loose nuts in a coffee can a shook it up. only when im at full boost though.

Doesn't really matter what type of wastegate... When they dump to atmosphere they all sound like crap, IMO.
Re-route it back into the exhaust.

i thought it was going to sound like total crap, but i didnt care i just needed to kick the cat , and i didn t want straight pipes cause that sounds bad, i think. I was walking in advanced to get weather stripping sealer and saw them, a big cage filled with red glass packs. I asked the guy how much they were thinking theyd be 40-50 bucks. He said 20 and i was sold. Sawzall'd the cat off (that was a pain due to the double pipe the cat slips into) went through 3 layers. welded my glass pack on where the cat would have been, it looks great under there and fits perfect. BUT my damn wastegate sounds like a fart.

Less boost should solve your problem.
