more turbo noise!! and spool

Ok. I dont want to turn this into a physics lesson but is it better to have a down pipe that flares instantly into 4" i.e. stans headers down pipe. or is it better to flare down stream into 4". air moves faster through a smaller area... if you pipe was 4" at the start wouldn't it be more volume and not speed?... hmm.... andbody done both and what is the turbo noise difference??




Thanks
Brian

I swapped in a 4 inch DP and left the rest of the 3" system. Being conservative, I saw a 50-75* drop in EGTs under full throttle...
