You wont have any hearing either. BTW, boosting with just a DP is quite safe. The turbo provides the backpressure

damn a month. I had mine off for a day on my RX, went out and made 2 test passes on the main road through 2nd gear, came home, parked, and 5 min. later watched a cop drive by and glare at me and my car.

Definitly built more boost- I hit the fuel cut, twice

I've ridden in a car with open DP/MP to breakin the brake pads and we saw two cops while we were driving and they did not even look at us. Its loud but nothing compared to open header/manifold with an N/a.I would look for a spare or unused main cat and gut it and put that on the end of the down pipe. It may help a little with the noise and make it deeper than just the turbo weed wacker sound.
