Exhaust...
Somebody confirm this statement:
On a turbocharged car with 2-1/2" piping... even without a muffler, the exhaust is not that loud. The turbocharger acts as a muffler in itself.
Is that true?

Let me put it this way..... On my car, i have a 2 1/2" exhaust with a 12" resonator and a magnaflow straight through muffler, and it sounds like it is stock (except for the turbo spooling)

Rep Power: 0 Thanks a lot. That's what I'm looking for... I just don't feel like catching attention with a loud exhaust. I'd rather catch attention with a BOV.
