JamieP Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 You will need to blank off the hole in the exhaust and fit a screamer to the wastegate, id contact HKS about getting the correct screamer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I would start thinking about insurance before screamer pipes. Have you driven the car yet? You might find you quite like to have no screamer pipe, I would like to not have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Just contact anyone that resells the HKS kit if you want new parts to replace. You'll need a new screamer pipe and presumably DP or MP dependant on where the existing one links back into the exhaust. Insurance IS an issue, screamer pipes (i.e. unsilenced exhausts) are illegal and the car will not pass an MOT. There are of course ways round this as many will know, but the simple fact is, it's an illegal modification so technically you are only covered 3rd party by almost all insurance policies.

wilkorangerover Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 does this sound right......... a mechanic friend says simply take the turbo dump pipe off which is connected into the down pipe connect a screamer pipe on where that goes on the turbo and blank the hole in the down pipe up does this sound right??

Fearless Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Your mechanic friend is correct but I don't know why you would want to do this, I keep looking at mine trying to figure out how I can plumb it into the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
