Rep Power: 374 Here this is what im refering to....."RESONATOR & SILENCER
These are located somewhere along the exhaust pipe and are used to cancel out much of the vibration and some of the noise the engine produces. A straight pipe design without these devices can improve exhaust flow (hence increased performance) but you may have to drive around with earplugs. Turbocharged cars are capable of having an exhaust system void of a resonator or silencer (sometimes even the muffler) because the turbo "eats up" a lot of the sound produced. That's why they are so quiet."

Rep Power: 0 Yes, you sorta answered your own question. Yeah, so that is the reason there are these things called "turbo mufflers" which you wouldn't want to put on a non-turbo car because it would be too loud.

Rep Power: 0 The whole thing with the sound from the exhaust doesn't really matter to me. But what I don't really like about the turbo is the whistling sound it gives your engine. I've heard you could buy bigger blow off valves to reduce or eliminate that sound. Is this true or not? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]
