funny thing is, as I was watching this my buddy pulled up with his wrx
STI does have kinda short gears, but that car has a 20G turbo upgrade (similar to K27), so it is pretty quick....

My car is open dump, it'll be at 944Fest and I'll be in Philly with it in August. If anyone wants a ride just ask. I personally like open dump, but I've decided it's just to damn loud and I'm going back to closed.

I have mine dumped and not noticable when at WOT and 3" exhaust.

Only really notice it if I am driving by something that reflects the sound back to me..and that sounds AWESOME!!!

Sorry, I meant it is not really noticble as with a 3" and WOT, you do not really care or notice that you are hearing the dump pipe.

open dump is great. if someone gets on your *** real bad, you can let them have it,

i actually made someone drop their groceries when i was ripping down the street


felt kinda bad afterwards.......



but yeah, i've learned that the dumped WG is good for a car that you use more than on runs. like, if you go out on dates and stuff, it keeps your foot out of the gas, because everyone for a few blocks around will hear you.


the first night i got it dumped, i went to my friend's house. i went for a drive around the block, and i was 2 blocks over when i mashed the gas.

my friend was on the crapper in the house and heard it.

i'd say that's awesome.

Rage2 ran his 951 with an open wastegate. He put a little muffler on it though - something like what you would find on a briggs and stratton if I remember right. There should be some videos of his here somewhere.
