Yeah mine was loud as well...but I'll do it again, but I think i might just make my exhaust all the way to the back and leave it without a muffler...only got a stock muffler now...

open dp sounds cool as ---- (it isnt really loud unless your at full throttle and the wastegate opens up) , plus im too lazy to make a full exhaust, and too poor to buy a nice one

loud as ---- and sounds like a WRX. The turbo spooling makes me cream in my pants. Alows for some gains in HP and sounds cool too.

i'm running just downpipe right now and i love it!! its a bit loud but the spool of the turbo makes it worth it! open exhaust housing is the best though.....mine sounded like a ------- semi truck spooling everywhere ZZZZzzzzzZZZZZZ it was great!!! now with the d.p its louder but you can still hear the ZZZZzzzZZZ spooling of the turbo and i love it!!! i'm gonna stick a 3" all the way back with no cat, its should still sound good.. i love turbo's!

running open exhaust housing is a bad idea. It will cause your turbo to over spool and ruin the bearings. Not a good idea.

Overspool and ruin bearings? With a good boost controller you can control spikes and it will not ruin your bearings


My open downpipes threw off my o2 readings, it wasn't reading any voltage at WOT. once I put an exhaust on it ran much better

my friend at work ran his dp from the turbo under the engine with a turn down and it left a black spot from him warming it up everyday
