ebay has loads of screamer elbows which arent the real deal (no performance advantage) they can sound a bit pants and often bugger up the idle/low speed running of the car. only way is a proper ext wastgate imho if you want to improve performance and reduce spiking

to stop them being loud, you can re-join the screamer pipe back into the main exhaust. best bet is to rejoin minimum of 5ft from the turbo though or itll be a restriction (two lots of exh gasses squeezed into one pipe straight after the turbo)

does that make sense? does in my head, but let me know and i will try and explain better

no I got that
