I felt like driving so i went out and really drove my car hard. when i slow down to park at my friends house, it sounds like my car has an exhaust leak. So i open the hood becusae it sounded like it was coming form the manifold or something. Everything looked fine but when i reved it, it sounded straight piped somewhat. My thought is that maybe the wastegate spring got stuck a little and was flowing the gases through the dump tube. Its the star stage 2 kit. I have heard bad things about the delta wastegate so if anyone knows what this is or has had their wastegate do this to them let me know
 
yes it does not dump into the normal exhaust its "straight piped"
 
no i know what the dump tube sounds like it sounds awsome, but this was at idle that gases were escaping ffrom the dump tube thats why im worried.

yeah the dump tube all my friends are jealous of that sound even the ones with the evos and stis
