1G Wastegate hood dump?

[AWD-Tony]

Question for guys running hood dump for wastegate only.

1-10 how loud is it? I’ve had external dump before but not through hood.

Any cons of driving in the rain?

How dirty does the hood get?

IMO it's not as loud as it is when it's pointed straight at the ground. As far as the hood goes, if it's a close to flush mount your hood will get dirty especially if the paint is a lighter color. Don't know anything about driving in the rain with one, I wouldn't want to but that's just me.

I don’t usually take it out in the rain but there’s always a chance it rains coming back.

Interesting! I thought it would be much louder.

Reflecting them off the ground and having it bounce all down the length of the car transfers alot of the sound into the cab.

Pointed straight at the ground the sound shoots back at the car, kinda like when you have a car with a exhaust dump under the car and not out of the back.

Yup. Seems like that’s the case
