Downpipe vs. True Duals

What is louder a downpipe after the turbo or a n/a true dual set up with cats and billet mufflers???

what do you mean?

I have down pipes and if I was to run true duals they would connect to the downpipes? Did you mean open downpipes?

Of course it depends on your muffler, but I'd say open downpipes on my car would be louder, even though its pretty quiet when compared to say a N/A HC car with a cut out mid way.

any Turbo setup should be quiter on the same engine
my car is very quite with out a muffler
I am running a t-67 through a 3 inch cutout and my brother is running a SLP Loudmouth behind Pacesetter longtubes with out cats and his car is MUCH louder than mine
and most true duals that I have heard are louder than a LM

when i went from my borla with no cats to the STS my turbo setup was much louder, i had to install a bullet muffler behind the turbo, the noise resonated so loud you couldnt carry a conversation inside vehicle.
