I dont pretend to be a wiseman on scavenging or backpressure or exhaust systems. But I have ran both an open O2 housing and a few DSM turbos. I absolutely LOVE the way the DSMs look with the exhaust out the side of the bumper. But honestly my car isnt a track car, its a daily driver. Now I'm wondering what if I ran an actuator on a Y-pipe, and routed one end out my bumper. Then I flipped a switch and maybe a condition that sensed WOT that could reroute this exhaust out the bumper.
Maybe Im wrong, but on a car with a 16g that commutes daily, a no backpressure exhaust seems to be the wrong way to go. I ran this for awhile while I welded a new flex pipe on my exhaust and got terrible low end, so an open O2 is just the wrong application for a lot of guys who arent wrapping their cars out at every stop light. Now what if I ran a system that could control the point at which this exhaust dump reacted? Lets say at 12 psi we had a secondary WG that has been welded into the O2 housing that rerouted the exhaust gases into another pipe that reduced back pressure that is not ideal at a higher RPM where you build that sort of boost?
