External wastegate on man. Rerouted back to exhaust???

[91orangeGST]

I have an external wastegate on my exhaust manifold and was wondering whats the best way to route it. I was going to just have a dump tube under the car cause it free's up more room in the exhuast for the turbo. Or I was going to reroute it back into the 02/ down pipe.

Now for my questions...

I heard that doing an external dump sounds like crap under full boost, but gives you more power. Is this true? Or if I want a cleaner sound should I reroute it back into my exhaust and loose some power?

You will not be losing any power unless you have a setup that is maxing out a 3" exhaust, pretty hard to do really.

Going with an external gate and dumping it to the ground will make the car sound louder. I personaly have this set up on my car and love it, it makes the car sound very strong and better in my opinion. But, dpending on what type of driving you are going to be doing, if you are in and out of the throttle alot than recirculating it back into the exhaust may be a way to go. It really does depend on what your preferences are. Sleeper or let them know what you got.

Does an internal wastegate o2 dump sound the same as the external wastegate dump?Because if they do then people say they sound like a 88 civic without a muffler at full boost.
