I run a 3" dp, 3 inch race pipe to a custom 3" exhaust.
It is a bit on the loud side but then that might be my straight dump tube from my external wastegate. I did notice that it did get louder when I took out my 3" HFC and went to the race pipe. BTW this is with a GT35R turbo.

i have a 2.5" stinless test pipe, then borla after that....
its sorta loud i guess, these cars ahve great sound deadening, so inside its not bad at all, no reasonating or anything, but if im realy on it people do say they hear me coming for a couple seconds before i get there (and im ALWAYS on it) i do hear a little kinda ticking sound when go past 1/2 throtle or so, think it might be a slight leak somewhere? no its not pinging. but overall i think it sounds great, you can hear the turbo more too. my friend has a 180 TT with norla and dahlback chip and my car sounds similar at idle maybe slightly louder but it realy opens up and sounds much better when you rev it or get on it. oh and i almost forgot the best aprt, when you are drivin hard and do a quick shift at 5500-6000 or so rpm you get a lil pop and a flame about a foot long, i attribute this to the test pipe and the tuning.

how many horses do you run extra with the gt35r turbo upgrade? so a downpipe will definetely give a nice loud noise which is what i want. how much was it for the race pipe??
