      Will a turbo ep3 be loud?

      Hey guys,

      This might be a silly question... but shouldn't a turbo ep3, with an exhaust, be as quiet or even quieter than stock? since the exhaust gases are being reused, right?

      it's really relative to the exhuast, but a naturally aspirated engine with ***** exhaust WILL be louder than a turbo engine with ***** exhaust.

      A turbo is like a silencer. You have the wastegate relieving the turbo by letting out exhaust fumes. Something like that.

      an a3 with a race header and full 2.5 in. exhaust is louder than a boosted a3 with a 3in exhaust.

      from personal experience.

      also, depends if your running open dump tube as well
