I've heard some now models have a "turbo muffler", i'm not sure if late 2000's models like my car have such a device. I just want to be able to hear my turbo, help please.
I've removed the cat and dpf, will this increase sound at all? Or should i remove the muffler and resonator too to make it a complete straight pipeStraight pipe it.
I Think k&n filters are garbage. You need to oil them and that can foul your sensors if you're not careful. Buy quality filters. This won't affect turbo sound.Cheers, the K&N was free so I debating whether to add it or not for this very reason.
That would rob power. It be easier/better to just add a cut out in place of the cat. Flip of a switch and boom turbo noises, and lil tractor sounds. Plus having a foot of pipe behind the turbo then just free air can be really fun when rolling through town. Lots of laughs when it whistles.When I had a boost leak I could hear a lot of whistling ... I wonder if there's a way of making an adjustable boost leak for that very purpose.
Maybe something that could be plugged into the Boost pipe with a variable orifice that you can control how much air flows through and out the pipe through a whistle mechanism?
My whistling went away when the leak got worse ( has the leak got worse it went from high-pitched sound to more of a low-pitched whoosh noise ).so it's a very fine tuning required to do that unless one can make a specific piece to do it.
In my particular case the we could gotten so bad that I can only get about seven pounds of Boost Max whereas with a closed system I could get up to 24 PSI
If you delete the cat and Muffler you'll get a lot of whistling out the tailpipe.... but my assumption was you wanted the whistle to come closer to the engine compartment so you would have to have a boost week or some sort of device to do that.... Open Air air filters are generally look down upon because you lose the cold air intake but you might gain some sound tho.

Cat is out so i'll see how it sounds when the car is actually running.When I had a boost leak I could hear a lot of whistling ... I wonder if there's a way of making an adjustable boost leak for that very purpose.

The cat has been hollowed out, so it looks like its there, but its not, should hopefully hear something.That would rob power. It be easier/better to just add a cut out in place of the cat.

Mine is the same way, but i still have a muffler, so that cuts it out amd makes it quite.The cat has been hollowed out, so it looks like its there, but its not, should hopefully hear something.
Even the stock vnt15's will whistle loud tho. My first car (01 beetle) was a whistler, and people loved it! I've been tempted to do the same with my now daily (same year/car different color). The only problem is i went through so many flex pipes because of the rust belt, and i didn't have a good way to weld up a solid pipe. Another problem is the cat intake to exit is different diameter as well as offset, so that made things difficult on my last car.I gained a bunch of turbo whistle when I swapped all intake piping with custom aluminum alloy and minimal hose connections (of the shortest length possible), full aluminum IC, and a new, bigger turbo.
Made me think I had some form of crazy boost leak... Fun, unintentional bonus.
Ya, It's gotta be behind the bumper to not drone, and not be pointing at the pavement. Anywhere exiting under the car and it'll drone.I rode in a straight piped Jetta a while back and the drone was terrible.
I don't know if the exhaust dumped in front of bumper or after it.
