Forced Induction - TURBO LOUD-ness...

would dumping the downpipe(s) do anything as far as loudening the turbo at idle, and at cruising\?

"dumping"? like running open downpipes? absolutely!

lol at loudening!

I think it would. My friends turbo Maro seems to have more turbine noise when the cut out is open...and his cut out is ~4 feet away from the turbo on the down pipe.

lol, thanks guys.. yeh i meant open downpipes... what about at idle???? more there noticable than at crusing...

why would you want it louder? make it a sleeper

Mine are really loud with dumped downpipes, I've never had exhaust hooked up to tell the difference

i have about 3 ft of downpipe and the turbo is LOUD with any amount of spool

thanks, dumped d'pipes it shall be...

The first video in my signature is with open down pipes and incons... It's signifigantly quiter with the exhaust, but when I hit the electric cutout, sounds just like the video.

nice , very much appreciated.

This is a soundclip of my Incons through an open y-pipe with a 236/236 112LSA cam.

When I put on the factory Firehawk DD exhaust it sounds so freekin' quiet. Complete sleeper.

tru tru, just bummed now that i hear it will be hard to spool the twins with a 6speed... DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMITT!!!

Does the open downpipe sound good when driving? I know sometime without mufflers you get crackles and pops...

on the highway she purrs nicely, the turbo spool becomes louder than the engine, so you get to play with 18 wheelers and they give this look :headbang: when they hear the spool.

Regular street driving sucks. Lots of sounds you don't normally hear and can make you crazy. Gonna have a cutout put on right there where it dumps now, and have the rest of the catback connected.

Don't know never tried it. I'm tempted to though. It sounds like a V-8 powered Honda Accord right now with my SLP dual/dual on. :eyes:

I might swap catbacks to the SLP loudmouth to get some sound back into it. Just way too much of a sleeper... I like to hear the cam... and the turbos have muffled it down to nothing.

But What About With The Borla Exhaust? When The Cutouts Are Not Open..does It Still Sound "sick"

Im Still Pissed Off With This Whole Spooling Issue...

Heres your silencer, loudener, and you use this to shoot down police helicopters<---- WHeres this from?!?!?!?

open i have a cutout on my single turbo car...and it sounds like a V6 when you rev it...its doofy sounding.

Get a 2 step and spooling those turbos with a 6 speed will be much easier... at least from the line.

2 step? learn me a little here.
and when you say at least from the line, that means later on ill have a bitch time? thanks and sorry to be a pest.

oh and should i put the cutouts after the downpipes then, im trying to amplify... i 4got about that one before

Thats what I was afraid of. Love the sound of turbo's, hate the sound of cars poping while crusing through town :barf:
Is there much of an advantage horspower wise with a open downpipe?
