A close friends old Cav Turbo was really loud, and his old 200SX was stupid loud too,
but i do agree, N/A cars are more often alot louder than forced induction cars under load

i had a bastuck cat back, custom centre section with sports cat and then regal pre cat, and it gave the car a really nice note and deffo improve pick up and smoothed out boost! I didnt have any probs with it, although i did have to get a joint welded up as it kept blowing after a good ragging!
