Default Turbo with 2.5" piping, but stock muffler?

Will this do any damage to my turbo or my motor, besides less potential output, I just want to quiet down my car since it's freakin loud as hell. Just wondering what you guys opinions are?

I doubt it'll damage your engine, but the restriction is just too great. You'd be better off installing a big resonator along with a non-straight-through 2.5" muffler like a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler or an Airmass Warlock muffler. The former is aluminzed steel while the latter is T304 stainless-steel.

Here's a link to the Warlock muffler -- http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLin.../WMuffler.html

I did this a long time ago and it totally sucks for top end and spool time. Not even worth it. Its a big *** bottleneck.
