2G Hood dump or Full Exhaust?

[Inkdlyfe]

So I've been running a hood dump directly off the turbo for a good while now but now thinking about changing it up. Getting too hot to not be able to have both windows down. Having a hood dump the pass window gotta stay up sadly unless u like the smell of exhaust.. I was also thinking about just doing a lower front bumper exit but figured it would just do the same exact thing.. Besides the obvious about the fumes is there like a gain so to say from a full exhaust then a hood exit ? Been so long since I had a full exhaust I don't member how it's like ..

I dump with a 3" shitty electric bypass right off of the downpipe 90* turn, about a foot back (right off of the @MorrisonFab flex pipe). It was reverberating in the car until I twisted the turndown OUT and under the driver side door. I can cork it up but never do.
Just my setup so you have 1 to go off of.

I like to be stealth, so I prefer the full exhaust route. I was also the guy that hid the head unit to my electronic boost controller in the flip
Up compartment on the center console. I could go from 15psi (gate pressure) to 34psi with the push of a button. But that’s how we rolled in Chicago, getting our hustle on

I also run "scramble boost" on my steering wheel. Never "had" to use it but it bumps from my normal 24 to 35+.

Sometimes you can have o2 sensor reading issues due to the short length of the hood dump where fresh air gets mixed in with the exhaust stream. I can't think of any other issues.

Why not just have the car set on “kill” all the time? That’s why I switched to E85. I got tired of switching tunes every time I went from pump gas to race gas.

It is. The gate is at 24psi. I run gate pressure and the override is "kill" (or all I can get it to boost). Its built to take it! I know the guy that did the engine
She also has a flex fuel tune in her but she only gets E85.
BTW, I have BOOST again so I can go play! Yay.
Sorry, sidetracked.
Carry on!

So what was the “non-boost” issue?

Lol sleeper to the next level for real ... I liked thw whole obnoxious stand out but it's getting old not being able to like have the window down

So like do yall think I should maybe do a front lower bumper exit?

I have a 3in bumper exit on my car. The only time it really gets annoying to me is going through the drive through, or if I just so happen to pull up beside a cop at a stop light. It's still loud, and it can probably get obnoxious to some people, but I like it.
