You'd probably hear it a lot more with an intake than with just an exhaust.

Mine's stock...I don't know about the exhaust, the previous owner got the last exhaust from Speedy. I don't take this as a good sign. Anyway, if I stomp on it at a higher rpm, lower gear, my turbo wails louder than the engine (inside car) . In all situations it's pretty audible...

Good/bad neither?
