Default dumptube bends



i am wondering what bends i need for the wastegate dumptube. it is going to be coming off on the left side and connect into the downpipe. i was going to get one 90 degree bend with 2 foot of 1.5" straight piping.

You really aren't going to need very much, especially if it's a straight shot down into your downpipe.

I'd think you could easily get away with getting one 90 degree bend.

I like putting the dump tube about 1 ft down from the bend, that way you don't effect the downpipe flow in any way. Some might dispute where to place the dump tube, but this is my .2 cents.

I don't like the idea of smelling exhaust everytime the wastegate opens

Get a U bend, cut it in half, from the looks of it one 90 straight down will hit the manifold. They are only like 10 bucks I believe, go crazy.

looks like 2 bends at the least, one to bend down into the engine bay off the wastegate and another to go around the DP and splashguard I see at the bottom.

I used a flex pipe from vatozone but it is rather loud since the metal is thin. It was my only option due to space reasons.

You could also just drive to a muffler shop and have them do it for you.
