Most people who use an external wastegate do not route it into the downpipe. Usually that is only done in stock applications/internal wastegated cars. The reason why most people switch over to external wastegate is for performance and to fight things like boost creep and so forth, not because they want their car "louder" plus the fact that some turbos(mainly the big power turbo's) do not come internally gated.

I understand all these things but I drive the car around a lot. I am not worried about it really. I am just getting an insight on how everyone else feels / does. As far as the manifold it is just a inline 6 manifold. Nothing special. I have to fabricate the external wastegate in. Internal sucks.. had to many problems with it. Now it's time for a nice Tial!

Ive heard of someone local running a lawnmower muffler on it to quiet it down.Me on the other hand just traded my external dump for a turbo.

+1 here, although only running around 6psi I cant say exactly how much it does for me, other than sounding kinda cool

To throw some sort of opinion into it, dump it. It's more efficient, it sounds cool, you just can't lose.

Dump it. Routing it back to the exhaust will only serve two purposes:

1) quieter (Who cares? )
2) create more exhaust turbulance and more backpressure (no thanks)
