This is what I did, however on interstate cruises the drone gets old (and it makes me deaf). Mine is dumped right under the passenger rear seat. I am either going to run the exhaust out the back (still wide open) or put my SLP d/d and cutout back on.

I'll keep saving for the ATP boost activated cut out, no wires to run and it opens up under boost, no need to flip a switch.

I am just wondering how it can be setup so that it will only open when I wont. For instance if I'm making a 5psi pull I dont really want that extra noise but for 15psi I'd love to have it open. Any way to accomplish this?

I agree with FormulaFire... just dump it and be done with it.

Yes. . . and the boost drops because you're losing the air out the exhaust valve during overlap.

I have 2 dyno tests on high hp supercharged cars that gained little or nothing from greatly improved exhaust flow.

Exhaust restrictions affect inlet boost not becuase of overlap but because of how a restricted exhuast affects cylinder filling.
