Default Who's running only downpipe?

I just installed a downpipe in my turbo, and I got to say that it sounds like ----. I runned without a downpipe for like 2 days, and it didnt sound so bad; now its kinda loud. I want to run just downpipe and no muffler, is anybody doing the same setup,no downpipe? And where does your downpipe end?

I took a ride in Jason Parker's hatch...the creator of turboEDIT.

his open downpipe flange (no downpipe, just a turndown off the turbine housing) was quieter than my NA car with a 2.5" exhaust, cat, resonator, and tip

I did run my car a few days with just a downpipe, and it wasn't nearly as loud as many N/A cars with open exhaust. But it was pretty loud when boost kicked in and the wastegate opened, also there's a lot of noise inside the car if your exhaust exits under the middle of the car rather than going out the back. In either case you really want to get the exhaust away from the engine and air intake. A good place to exit on the drag hondas seems to be in front of either front tire.
