Default Turbo with Borla question

On an LT1 car with a single turbo and the adjustable Borla exhaust, would you reccomend keeping the pipe open (straight pipe) or closed (through the muffler). I would imagine on a turbo'd car this could make a big difference.

Thanks

I kept mine wide open and yes it does make a difference. The less exhaust pressure you have, more power and quicker spool up

with the Borla wide open, you could really hear the turbos singing when giving it a little gas.
