Default Turbo muffle

Considering a Borla muffler set up. Not sure how much twin turbos muffle the exhaust note. I like the S-type or the Atak muffles but I like a aggressive exhaust note. Just want to make the right decision. If anyone has any experience let me know which works best.

The turbos definitely quiet the exhaust down. I am running Billy Boat PRTs with my TTi twins and it's barely louder than stock. Maybe too quiet for some, but I think it sounds great and I wouldn't change a thing.

Turbos ARE mufflers, kill 2 birds with 1 stone

So, it sounds like the OP might be better off purchasing Borla's axleback straight pipes if he wants somewhat more volume. It seems like the turbos would prevent the straight pipes from being overly obnoxious?

This is @Black8Banger with a UPP twin turbo system and quad tip Borla Stingers. Pretty much all the noise you hear is the wastegates that dump under the car

When I had my upp kit i used both zo6 catback and Lg gt4 and both sounded great.

with my single setup now , its 4” bumper exit. In car this setup is so much quieter its crazy

Turbo cars aren't loud by nature, you add mufflers if you want to quiet it up even more.
I'm TT, with full 3", x pipe, no mufflers.
