^x2

Just took my turbo off because of too many mods and have to go back to the dyno and DAMN! that beeotcch is 3 times louder at least. Turbo cuts out lots of noise. I think it will be pairly quiet unitl full spool, then it gets noisey. If you had a three inch or bigger that would be a different story though

I have a 3" downpipe, 3" mandrel all the way back, no cat/resonator to a 3" magnaflow and its not loud and has absolutely no rasp to it at all.

My experience was similar to a couple. The car was very loud and raspy with an exhaust and being na. Then once th turbo and a 3 inch exhaust went on it was much better sounding and actually quieter. Now if you have an open dp or waste gate that goes to atmosphere then that is a different story. I mean a turbo acts like a big exhaust restriction. So you'd think it would wine things down.

The turbo will always make your honda much quieter. and the best part about it is it gets rid of that high pitch noise that you get at higher rpms. I love the way my car sounds with my turbo.
