does the 02 housings with dump on them sound pretty good, i was thinking about getting one their not that expensive was wondering if its pretty cool sound n almost like u had ur downpipe off real rumbly and hear that turbo spool really loudly
 
i love my 02.

02 housing = 150.00 ish
tank of gas = $20.00
the look on the v8's guys face when you fly past him with open 02 .....priceless :D

Nice quote, but mine was a bit more plus had it HPC extreme coated which was well worth it, and yes the look is priceless. best thing ever is a ricer who insist his car is faster since it "louder" so he guns it, I wait about 6 or so seconds for him to put a few cars on you, then open it in his window. I have seen people spit gum on their dashs, switch lanes, turn their heads so fast it could almost cause whiplash, and had their girlfriends plug their ears and duck. I was alittle sad to get DSM link since the car quieted down ALOT since I now have control over timing and wont let it get above 16* unless on race fuel. but with the 580's and SAFC I was getting about 19* on pump and 21* on race fuel, you can really hear the difference with higher timing.

May I add on, "the look on the v8 guys face when you fly past him with dump open, when little girls cover their ears, and when dogs run from you like the dog catcher, PRICELESS" :cool: Thats funny. The external dump sounds damn nice to me. It kinda sounds like a cross between a belch and somebody puking, but otherwise, its good. It doesnt sound quite like open downpipe, its a little more crisp, not quite as muddy, more defined sound.(if that makes sense to you) Cant go wrong tho :thumb:
 
they sound real mean like nobody wants race you after they see you run. is there any one who makes an o2 camera to see the flames that shoot out!!!!????
 
Ill be the odd ball and say the sound is etremely loud its fun at first but gets annoying later on down the line you will want to change it just buy a 2 1/2 or 3 inch o2 housing save the money on the dump tube. Just my 2 cents.
 
i agree with joel, i thought it was the coolest when i first got it, but after a while it just gets annoying, any time you accelerate enough to open the wastegate you start to hear it and it just sounds like your exhaust has a huge leak (which i guess it kinda does ;). I took it off a few weeks ago and put back on my stock ported o2 housing, never thought quieter would sound so good :)

FIRST OFF this saying is AWSOME!!! second off, to me anything that adds noises or makes my car louder makes me look like this :D

eclipse :dsm: talon :talon: laser :laser:
 
I run the punishment o2 with dump and it does sound very unique. I have to agree though that it gets on your nerves after about a month or so of having it on because you can hear nothing else when you hit full boost. I can no longer hear my turbo spooling when the wastegate opens up or the nice sound of my exhaust. I am thinking about switching to one with a recirculating dump myself. I'll wait till I upgrade the turbo to do that though.
 
I have a 3 in. exaust right now.Will you lose any power running an open o2 or open down pipe or dump?
 
The open O2 will help you out on everything except for emissions, it should give you more power and potential by running a dump, because its not being reintroduced into the exhaust flow causing turbulence and lessening flow. If you get an external wastegate on the o2 dump may help you even more by cutting all/most of the creep, since it's a little more efficient than the turbo internal.
 
get one, its not gonna sound that good if you just buy one with 1.5" dump.
you can buy something like that but make dump at least 2", its gonna have much better sound. One more cool thing that you can do, buy the little muffler at autozone put on it and sound is gonna be even better :thumb:
i know its sound funny but it works
