On the intake side or exhaust side?

I have plastic intake arm and one of those cheap ebay HKS style filter with 2.5" exhaust and no cat. Sucker spools like a one of those damn semi trucks... maybe not that loud but you can hear me quite a distance away.

it has to do with the turbo size and exhaust setup. a smallet turbo likea vj-11 will make more sound sooner than a t3.. simply because its spinning faster.. most turbos operate in acess of 150,000 rpm.

mine is pretty loud. 3 inch dp with 2.5 exhaust thru a magnaflow muffler. its almost annoying. i have a U shaped intake on it with filter as well, tapped with a fitting for my PCV setup
