Think of this, all that hot exhaust is now just staying there. I did open turbo for about 30 seconds because i was curious how loud and what itd sound like. Open downpipe sounds the same as it.

yeah ok, leave your turbo open and melt your turbine fins... Let me know how that works for ya. Plus why are all you guys running around tearing up the streets in **** sounding cobalts. Makes the rest of us look bad (the ones that drive sprited and have decent sounding exhaust) sorry if offends anyone, i just feel like people think less of cobalts and their owners because some punk kid is ripping around town with a open down pipe, driving wrecklesly...

He's asking about open down pipe not open turbo. It'll sound like ass and the performance won't be as good but it's not going to damage anything.

running open h-pipe on a 02 mustang GT makes it sound sexy.

when i get a downpipe you can be sure i'll take a ride with just open downpipe.

It sounds good to you in the car because the exhaust ends under the car. Thats the only reason it sounds better to the driver, but outside it could be confused for a john deere. Ive done it on a few vehicles.

I think this sounds good outside the car I was babying it cause it wasn't running very good and i later found out it was a boost leak. You can see the headlights come down in 2nd trying to pedal it to keep traction haha.
