I have a 3 inch JT downpipe. I thought the open end K&N filtre made the turbo whistle loud, but holy sh*t; with the JT pipe it is unbelievable! If you know what the big road rigs sound like with their huge turbos, that is what it sounds like. It almost seems out of place, as it dwarfs the exhaust sound. I can even hear it producing less than 2psi in 5th gear @ 140kph with the windows up. I use to never hear any turbo whistle under vacuum until about 5hg, now its louder at vacuum (spooling of course) than it use to be at 10 psi....crazy.
BTW I put 2 Spintech mufflers on, one 3inch at the front and a 2.5 at the back. Nice and quiet, but a real cool sound, similar to a C900 with a sport exhaust. I cannot hear ANY exhaust note cruising @ 100-120kph, which was my original gripe with my Dynomax 'stuff'.....I can just hear the turbo, and that with grow old soon I'm sure,,,,,,,,I have a little ring in my hear right now....
Oh and a few more things: NO turbo lag (seriously)! I can hit 10psi BEFORE 2500RPM! And would you believe it....with those mufflers....under hard acceleration, when I let go of the gas and put in the clutch to shift, the RPMs actually increase(!!!),,,,,,,,,I've never seen that before...crazy
