Turbo exhaust My turbo kit eliminates the cats and my current set up has two billets of the back making it a little to loud. What kind of hp/tq will it cost me to put a muffler where the passanger cat use to be? Is this a good idea???

you need no muffs with a turbo. my car is quieter with open 3" pipes now than it was with the lt's and flowmasters. even at wot. and with no muffs, you will REALLY hear the turbo.

I'm gonna run a Loudmouth, that's almost like no mufflers... the little resonator on the I-pipe can barely be even noticed!
You don't want to run any type of chambered muffler... that includes spiral flow mufflers. Ideally the only type of mufflers want to run for max spool and max flow are straight through bullet type of mufflers, but they don't do all that much to kill sound (~2-3 db which isn't ****). Like others have stated, turbos kill a lot of the sound, but don't think you can NOT run mufflers and have it sound like stock...
