"Sound" advice
"Sound" advice so ive heard this from a few people and it sort of makes sense but i want to hear it from people who've actually seen it or have it....Are turbo cars actually quiets, in general, because the turbo acts as a muffler?

under full boost...all i hear is a shhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

YES! In relative terms of course. If you compair a full on drag car, in this case a mountain motor BB on nitrous, to that of a BB turbo motor, the turbo motor will be quiter. The turbo does act as a muffler somewhat.

Some effects because the exhaust is still going through the turbine, but not as much. Just like you're cruse noise with an NA motor and a regular muffler. I'd still run a muffler on the car but also a cutout too.

Twin, sure, single, not really. You could do a 1 into 2 downpipe, just like the stock y pipe is 2 into one with dual outlets...just find away to split it off.

All the Turbo trucks are loud. At least the rear mount turbo ones. Without cats I had to put a muffler on for daily driving for fear of getting a ticket.
Here is my best sound clip at the track before the latest tune.

On the street it sounds much louder though and sitting at a stoplight and regular acceleration is sweet at first but gets old quick when you're trying to be stealthy.

LOL, When i lived in Oregon Soccer was THE sport to play. I hated it because it was hard and I had soft shins. 
I just liked that quote because it was funny. For no other reason. There was a big arguement on anothr board about Soccer vs American Football. In worldly terms Soccer PWNS American Football.

HELL yeah indoor soccer is tough...imagine being the goalie like i was for indoor,not only do you have to worry about people being 5ft from you shooting the ball at you now you have to worry about rebounds and reflections from shots and passes and stuff!
