turbo whistle!

i love the sounds other turbo cars make when they idle, subies, evos (hyundai genesis, evo motor), srt4s, supras, nissans, 240, 300, etc... the list goes on...

i love the way it sounds, just a whistle. sounds soo good. im wondering how i can get this sound?
complete turbo back, no res, no muffler, no cats, no nothing, just a complete straight pipe. will it make the sound im looking for???

It won't be as loud at idle but once you touch the throttle it will whistle.

my car has a straight pipe out the back and you can clearly hear the turbo "whistle" under light throttle. my srt4 also is straight piped out the back and for some reason has a louder turbo "whistle"

My car whistles and all it has is GMS1 and a K&N intake on it.

They always do and it makes almost no sense when they have a smaller turbo than the cobalts, I just think the SRT4s have a lil bit of Cummins in em, Haha!


To the OP, only way you're going to hear it good is if you straight pipe with a larger turbo, idk what it is, but something about our turbo design doesn't allow it to give off that same whistle. I even went open downpipe when I installed my downpipe and you could just barely hear it on the stock turbo so I bolted my catback back on. Maybe one of the mitsubishi turbos will give off more of the sound you are looking for?

I think the design of the O2 housing kills the spool down noise

Mine whistles at idle and light throttle when my cutout is open. It's located directly on my downpipe though

bump it up! you guys were all wrong! muahaha ahaha no jk!


anyways! i was up at turbo xs they have a couple new exhausts to release soon... not sure if i can release it for them or not... but anyways... i tried one out with a res.. but no muffler... and it sounded just like the srt4 in the OP!

i kid you not that turbo was insanely loud! the second i turned it on i could hear it....

now i have 2 resonators. but still no muffler. exhaust is not quite as loud. a lil deeper.. and you can still hear the turbo whistle... but just barely....


but just saying... with one of the new turbo xs exhausts out for the LNF... i heard that turbo downspool sooo nice

maybe you guys can help. what kind of exhaust do i need to get that like, diesel sound? i'm guessing this car is turbo'd or putting down some crazy kind of power to drive around on drag radials.
