Open DP with turn-down, safe to drive?
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2016 5:36 pm
hey guys,
So a bit of a dilemma: I'm in the middle of a 3" TBE install, currently have the catback section removed. Won't have a chance to complete it till I have more time over weekend, but would like to use the wagon during the week to run an errand.
Came up with a temporary solution, consisting of a 3" turn-down just after downpipe. Don't mind the sound, but would like to know if this is safe to do, as a temporary solution.
My hope is the turn-down will help avoid "burning the undercarriege" from what I've read up on WRX's running simply open DP. Maybe help a bit with directing fumes down and back too.
Bottom line, is this a safe n sound temporary solution? Or am I asking for more trouble than its worth. Appreciate any input.
