How about a solenoid equipped dump pipe coming off the down pipe for maximum turbo flow and you pick where that exits?
Imagine having THE factory exhaust and (relatively) straight off turbo gains at the touch of a button I'll be looking at this option and moving onto the turbo breathing in better than over the counter prescription offerings.
Turbos love open inhale and exhale.

This post is merely to stir the creative modifying pooppot :)

Just saw this video today, guy has that setup on his 1000 HP trans am. Would be pretty sweet.

Someone already done this old news
Will you please direct me to the old news?
I found no examples through searching this site and google. Thanks in advance

The only I could think of, it's a cut out and tune..

When I was building GTRs, we would add either a single 60mm or dual 44mm wastegates under the front seats. It’ll help make more boost (less restriction) thus more power. This enables customers to use a moderate noise level catback, then whenever the car sees XX amount of boost (wastegate spring dependent), it’ll turn into a more “free flowing” louder exhaust. Back to quiet as boost drops back down.

I really like that method! Also surprised that idea was not discussed at the Porsche/import tuning facility I worked at. Thank you Justin

Typically this method will only (easily atleast) work on a forced induction car due to the wastegate needing positive pressure to open. Or else you would need a spring loaded or electric motor driven unit.

I understand and it is nice to have more flow when you should need it. It is also nice to be able to open wide with a solenoid at anytime :)
