No im not talking about your mum!:wasntme:
I'm just wondering what all the hype is about this screamer talk?:confused: what is it where does it go? i know its something to do with the wastegate/turbo! i want my 5 to be a scremer!:D

put your misses in the passenger seat or a female friend and take her for a hard boosting session round some country road. I`m sure she will more than be screaming then!!
I had one on my skyline i fooking hated it.
just makes it sound like the exaust is blowing.
waste of time an effort...
well i must say each to there own ive got one on my 5 and it sounds the boll**cks. and friends tell me they have seen the odd flames spitting out on full boost befour. well worth the work imo.:agree::D
there in the same league as d'valves....:D:cooter:
:scratch: ermmmmm no not really! ive never known a screamer pipe to go whooop tsssss. ever.Quote:

These are fairly good links to explain what it actually is, as nobody has really said yet lol

id have to be proven wrong especially with one fitted to a 5...is it really gna make a whole lot of difference? ,ferrari f40 the yes..
also going to make track days a no go area with noise restrictions.
more noise does not mean more power.
:gagged:
Its not all about the noise, its about how well it controls the boost levels.
i agree mark:agree: i find that its not so laggy with the external wastegate. it boosts really well. also you dont have to run a efi set up and tubelur manifold for it to work well on a 5. mines been custome fitted to a standerd manifold and it works spot on.:agree:Quote:

so for a quieter operation how does it effect performance with it going back into the exhaust just before the cat? ie no screamer...
5 doesnt have a cat? going back in to the exhaust after the turbo would work too, and obviously reduce noise.
how are people with screamer pipes installing there wideband sensors?? and monitoring fueling?
i know...but was wondering how and if it effects performance or just chills the noise?Quote:

You can just install the sensor in its normal place on the down pipe or elbow.. The screamer pipe wont effect the Air/ Fuel ratio or readings.. The Burn is the burn so to speak, it will have the same gas mix throughout..Quote:

So where do i get one? :D
You have to make an external wastegate fit, no bolt on kit out thereQuote:
