just wondering if any of you guys are using a universal silencer on a 3in tip muffler and what you would recommend?

im not looking to make my exhaust quieter, but i am looking to restrict the air flow a bit. i noticed that with my ebc totally off, my boost creep is crazy. it starts to hit 7psi and it stays there under 4k, but from 4-7k it starts to boost creep to 14psi. thats a lot of creep! im thinking that maybe i can create some backpressure with a silencer so that the WG has less exhaust flow to deal with. i figure the silencer is cheap enough to give it a shot. im also going to test my WG to make sure its not hitting the 3in DP i have.

so, post some silencer links guys and tell me what you use!

the only real way to fix it would be to add in an external gate, and im not about to do that on the ct26.


Right because an external wastegate on a ct26 is just a silly idea and whoever thought of an external wastegate setup on a turbo with an internal wastegate must be a real moron because obviously turbos with internal gates won't work with external gates because the quantum leap fizzoromator device won't properly adjustumalate properly and then you'll end up with a craspy modular clamp that will totally blow your **** to pieces.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I should note that if you do an external wastegate setup that once you put another turbo on you'll have to just throw the entire wastegate setup out because it is somehow COMPLETELY depending on what turbo you are running. /n00bness



no, what i meant was, that im not going to spend the time and money trying to convert a ct26 to an external gate. if im going to go through the trouble of removing the ct26, and buying a gate, and setting everything up, then im sure as hell going to want to upgrade the turbo at that time too. so the external gate will have to wait till then.

for now, i just want a band aid fix. something to tie me over for the winter. im tired of seeing my boost creep up to 17psi in this cold weather.
