Yep it will change your exhaust note slightly, all depends on the size of the port and the exhaust system your using. Personally the louder the better is my preference!! Go for a straight thru exhaust system and I\'d of thought you\'d notice it more, of course you\'d need a PFC if doing so.

It will also make the car sound like pure evil when idle.

Evil Idle sounds good!!:D
My exhaust system is a big downpipe from me Garrett GT40-Feed mid silencer and RB single Catback-so not loud really!

For best results I recommend removing the turbo and fitting a straight through exhaust system, ala my egi.  Then go find a long high speed tunnel to play in!

Pete,

It can change it an a big way really, if you have large intake and exhaust ports, idle may not be the hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, but more of a brap brap brap etc.

Combined with a larger turbo and a straight through exhaust it can quickly become a little too loud!

I\'ve got a ported engine and a striaght through exhaust, includin downpipe.

It is ****ing deafening and howls like a banshee. It also occasionally gices out huge bangs and ejects rather large flames from the exhaust. The idle is really really menacing. Anyone sat at the lights thinking about offering you a race tends to think twice when they hear it growling.

Hey, i\'m getting a bit excited now!
Looking forward to seeing how mine will sound in a week!
Pete:p

Hijack alert!

Interested to know what you have had done John, specifically about the street port with the stock non-sequential twins you are running.  How is it?
