Noisy ones are not for me at all tbh.
Pretty chav-tastic.
And if a person hears it that has no interest in cars, or any idea what it is, they will laugh.
So quiet all the way  :smiley:

put a decent air filter on,you can hear everything the turbos doin just thru the filter,and not as over the top as an atmospheric dump valve. :rolleyes:
use a recirculating 1,then instead ov wasting gases,your keeping the turbo spinning during gear changes=quicker acceleration!so while sum1 else is busy makin noises,your overtaking them!  :smiley:

yeah my mates got a scooby wrx and anothers got rev 3 mr2 turbo........and they sound awsome!!!
but i think they only suit "loud" styles of cars, golfs hav always been more of an understated style if that makes sense! :laugh:
