Default downpipe dumped through front bumper

well i had a hair brain idea and want to hear some feedback, if you have done it post some pics and tell me your experience. oh and btw i am wanting to build a front mount turbo kit with prolly a 76mm. car is not a daily driver but it is a mostly street car. i dont car how loud it is(the louder the better!!) this will save me alot of work moving accessories around and will let me keep a/c. i will be building log manifolds with either 2 or 2.25 crossover and a 3.5 downpipe.

thanks

this is 5" out the front, not as loud as my dual 3.5" h-pipe was with ultra flows

Havnt run it yet, but i used to just dump under the k member, I have a 4 inch alum dp now, with a 4 inch alum muffler. Should be a little cleaner atleast. I still am going to make a trim ring for it also.

Subscribed. I'm also considering this option for twins. I'm a cheap *** and don't want to drop $$$ on a turbo k-member. Thanks for the input so far guys. Keep the pics and vids coming!

Just watch your angle out of the bumper - make sure its got enough leading edge to not have high back-pressure induced by high road speed.

Like this, works slick, and is quiet when you want it

I just ditched my old DP and exhaust and am now running an open DP but I dump it under the k-member. It's not much louder than my old long tubes setup and has a much more aggressive tone now.

Anyone else get any backfire issues at all on decell? I just got my car out so my tuner and I are still working on the tune and all but was just curious.
