Hope my garretts sound like that.

What kind of boost do they run? Looked like the highest he hit was 18 psi, but you couldn't hear that exhaust sound like when he was really on it.

Sound pretty cool but I think it would get old fast. Imagine trying to drive cross country with the family in that thing.

It sounds nice while it's on light throttle but once he gets on it, it sound like a regular gasser v8. The video was only 5 1/2 minutes and it was already annoying. A lot of whine and not enough boost IMO

Did you hear the people screaming at about 2:03? LOL.

It does sound cool, but god I think that would drive me crazy. At highway speeds the exhaust rumble from my truck drowns out most of the turbo sound unless I have the windows rolled up, and even then its not too bad inside the cab. Don't get me wrong I love the sound of a straight pipe and a whistling turbo but sometimes its nice to be able to roll up the windows and have some peace and quiet even if everything on the outside doesn't feel the same way .

My buddy has an '03 powerjoke with a Hog exhaust. Sounds like that. very annoying after a while. Gets alot of attention though.

True does get attention and the people that know absolutely nothing about a turbo'd engine will say that it is the badest thing around. So they think.

Thats would get old on a long trip. Heck my 99 is almost unbearable with the 66 htt in it. I just keep turning the stereo louder all the time to hide.
