Default Turbo exhaust?

I am getting a twin setup done and am going with turn downs off the turbos. My problem is I don't know how loud this is gonna be? I like loud but not pulled over every block loud. Or would it be advised that I go with a custom exhaust set up? I haven't really seen any sound clips for these setups and no one around here has one. I know the turn downs will produce the most power and the turbos will quite it down a bit but how much? Any advise from those with personal experience?

I have a single with a turn down and it is not really all that loud. I have drove it all around and have passed a couple of cops with no problem. It really is not the noise level that is the problem, it is the droning noise in the car. I plan on installing exhaust on it after a tubular K but for now I will run it open.
Really it sounds very mean just no long trips just yet.

I was afraid it might be to loud. I like a nice exhaust note but not obnoxious. Might have to see some options for a unrestrictive exhaust set up.

4in spintech catback with an electric cutout mounted up front. Or 4in bullet turned down before the axle?
