i'd just dump it away from the engine bay. you could dump it back into the downpipe, but that would require a lot of fabricating and welding.

my last one was plumbed back into the downpipe and i thought it was cool until i got my new setup, which runs open dump. open dump sounds awesome, and has a tendancy to scare old ladies haha. just make sure its not dumpipng out inside your engine bay/on anything important. for example, mine dumps out just off to the side of my oil pan, about a foot in front of my drivers side lower control arm and i dont have problems with carbon and exhaust buildup inside the engine bay

Just find out if your state/province has tight emissions regulations -- this could potentially fail you.

Mine is recirculated, I hate the sound of an open dump, sounds like a giant moped to me.

Its up to your preference. Personally I hated the way my car sound with a closed dump, it was too quiet. Now I scare children and animals when I hit full boost.
