Exhaust sound help I don't know if this is the right place to ask the questions but doing a search didn't turn up a single place for exhaust related questions to be asked so here goes.
As you can see in my signature I have a single turbo car with 3" down pipe going all the way to the back where it ties into the factory cme (2.5" each way) with no muffler. I like the looks of the cme however my car sounds like a Z71 and is really raspy and sounds crappy in my opinion. My question is what would sound good and not cause too much back pressure with the turbo I really don't want to choke anything out, I was thinking of just a single dynomax bullet 3" in and out or am I just doomed with the cme tips causing the rasp?
Anyone with sounds clips of turbo cars feel free to chime in, I'm all ears.
This is the only video I have of it, you cant really hear it here but I'll try to get a better on in the upcoming week.

I don't think I have room currantly to run a 4" down pipe and the turbo only has a 3" outlet. Post k-member (Read post engine build) I plan to go to 4" or twins. Right now I have been debating something like a power stick 3" in the I portion of the pipe or 2 short single chamber tube type mufflers in the straight sections that connect to the tips. I would have to change tips to get 3" tube back there as the stock cme tips accept 2.5" and if I am to change tips I might as well put an entire cat back on the car or some 3" in to dual 2.5" out like the factory muffler.
