Is anyone running a turbo without a muffler? I've read that a muffler may not be necessary with a turbo but I'm wondering how loud it would be.

It'd probably help flow quite alot, but dang that thing would be LOUD!

i hope ya dont do any hwy driving and dont "get into the gas" around town!

It wouldn't be as loud as a NA motor without a muffler but would still be quite loud.

With all the mufflers out there that do a decent job taking the bark out of the exhaust note and have basically no more restrictio than a pipe of pipe why bother trying?

Just curious if anyone had tried it. I would hate to miss out on a "sweet" sound for lack of trying it. I probably will try it if no one else has but I am expecting that it will be too loud.

The Drake's Simca racer is a non-muff turbo car, it is way quite compared to the open header racers but you can still hear the thing. It does have a great sound to it as the turbo spools-up.

It is not as loud as the big blocks with glasspaks. Sometimes I can not hear it in the staging lanes, water box and starting line unless I am standing right beside the exhaust. The other car drowns it out.
