Boosted Guys: Noise Levels?

I am in the process of possibly selling my Vette and move to a higher horsepower boosted Vette due to the noise levels. My question is this: How loud are your boosted high horsepower cars? Anyone here have one that is fairly quiet?

The turbo motor in the car now is waaaayyyy quieter than the stocker with long tubes. Even with the cut outs open. I still have the LM1 cat back on the car too.

My twin turbo car is quieter than my car was with H/C, Mac mids, and open borla.... that is, until the wastegates open, then its quite a bit louder... but thats only at high rpms under full boost...

blower I'm assuming. What's the point in having a s/c if you can't hear it. That's part of the fun

I gotta say, my boy's FRC with H/C/I P1SC and the big PC blowoff sounds nothing short of SICK.
Couldn't imagine a car that sounds better, it has all the right noises, and people look at you like you are ****** nuts when you cruise past them with the BOV whistlin and the B&Bs humming....

If you want quiet go with the ECS Paxton Novi. At idle I can not even hear mine. Definitely the quietest on the market. If you want sound you can get it from the cat-back.
