Modifying a HKS dp.

I'm planning on modifying a hks downpipe so that it would have a divorced wg and it'll have a dumptube for the wastegate to dump into the atmosphere.

Anyone got any tips or info on doing this?

Try giving these guys a call:

Performance Exhaust Center
510-490-1001
45301 Industrial Place, #3
Fremont, CA 94538

I plan on going there to get a custom 3'' midpipe welded up after I smog my car. I'm sure sticking a dump tupe on your hks downpipe won't be a problem for them.

the gases of the wg and the exhaust flows at different rate/speed, causing somewhat of a "turbulence" as i've read. so i wanna turn a HKS dp, into like the Perrin/Maddad/Bosal dp, but dumping it into the atmosphere instead.
