How obnoxious would a ewg dump be..?
Anyone have any good sound clips of a miata running a ewg dump? With my hood vent sitting just about directly above the wg, I've been thinking about it....maybe its cool...maybe its crazy

On a completely unrelated subject...when did you paint the car? you should've painted the black rockers white to blend with the rear flares better, other than that I think it look much better.

I think dumping it there would get pretty obnoxious if you drive her on a daily basis especially long distances or you live in a richy-rich neighborhood it may cause you issues, otherwise if you just drive it on occasion and don't give a **** about being yelled at go for it.

I didn't mind my VTA wastegate one bit. I assume most of our cars have loud exhaust systems and howling intakes to begin with. I couldn't hear my external WG over the noise of everything else by any means. If your car is loud it will just add another level of noise to it not necessarily make it louder.

, well maybe not...I guess I'm good to go ...I loved your nb....had it been for sale when I was looking I'd be driving it right now. You have any old video or pictures of it?

Drove an external dump DSM all the time. Loved it. Its not making any extra noise unless you hit full boost, so it is easy to keep it under controll in residential areas. Never had a problem.

Had one on my Forester XT and it was annoying, obnoxious and loud. <old man mode> But I was 39 at the time and realized having a douchey sounding car was for teenagers. </old man mode>.
What you guys think a ricey Honda with a fartcan exhaust sounds like is what I think an EWG dump sounds like. It's evolution.

It sounds like a car with a missing exhaust manifold every time you boost. It gets annoying immediately and is not an attractive sound. It made me not want to get in boost every time I drove a car with an open dump. It is loud, raspy and unattractive, not deep and powerful. If you drive a N/A Miata with only an exhaust manifold and no headpipe it is exactly the same sound because it is the same sound. It doesn't go whoosh like a turbo's compressor, whistle like a turbine or anything nice like that. In fact, it drowns out all of the nice turbo sounds.

Awesomeness for an EWG. This is what I did, I vented it straight down right where my DP made the turn to head toward the back of the car:
RRE Exhaust System Parts
Mine sounded vaguely like a v-twin motorcycle because my collector was biased pretty bad toward cylinder 4. So you heard individual pulses to an extent. Not pretty, but I did not mind. I generally dont care what the car sunds like at WOT as long as it flows well and is (mostly) quiet under normal conditions.

I wish I new someone local that had a tig welder....I'd do it just to try, but I'd like to have an easy way to change it back should it be too crazy. I was thinking about having it dump down toward the ground, but how narly would it be to have it pointed out the vent (maybe I'd even get the occasional flame shooting out
) Actually, thats the only part that makes me second guess having it dump there. I could care less if it discolors the vent or hood, but the dump tube would only be about 6" long, so I can only imagine what will happen (unburned fuel, flames, etc)
