Default how much effect on flow and hp with bad exhaust plumping?

i want to run an open downpipe from the turbo out the side of the bumper on my streetcar and still have an exhaust. i was planning on using the electric cut outmaybe mounted under the framerail.

i want the compressor mounted onthe drivers side and the exhaust mounted on p/s right under the oilpan. i was thinkin of trying to keep the better looking flow for the down pipe vs. the true exhaust.once they split the exhaust is going to have some bad turbulance, especially if i mount the cut out all the way at the end.

see the pics. i want 3" btw.

the pic aint working. but, i think i know what your trying to say, ie thought of it too. i think the exhaust that is being pushed out will cause an internal vac that will force the exhaust gas out easier. if you have ever had a physics class, they show how air acts in a cylinder when under pressure and being pushed. it basically tumbles in a a continuos motion. i dont think itll make that much of a diference. its only majorly affected when bended as it completely changes the direct of air flow. where as if it only ngle out, it shouldnt disrupt much.

well picture a " Y " .

now pressurize one leg, close off one other and the last one is the exit. in real life the pressurized exhaust have to travel down the dumptube 2-3', bounce off the valve and then back up to theopen leg of the exhaust. does this make sense?
