Yes, you see on a turbo, the best scenario is no exhaust at all.......

When selecting an exhaust for a turbocharged car, bigger is pretty much always better. In fact, the ideal exhaust for a turbocharged car is no exhaust at all! The reason is that any restriction in the flow of exhaust gasses will hold back the rate at which the exhaust can spin the turbo's turbine wheel. And if turbo spins faster, the engine will produce more power.
