Turbo exhaust idea: opinions please!

Hey guys, i'm planning out my series 4 turbo 2 swap into my FB, and here is what i'm thinking for an exhaust setup.

I'm probably going to be using a series 5 turbo (to help w/ boost creep issues).

Racing Beat 3" down pipe,
3" straight pipe, through two 18" presilencers
Magnaflow 3" in, 4" (7" lenght) tip #14834:



What do you guys think, will that be too loud or will that work ok?

Thanks for the input!
~Geoff

No opinions? I'd like to know if this is going to be too loud or not before i go for it. Anyone have a similar setup on their rides?

Peace

I think you should run an open turbo .
I don't know about magnaflow mufflers, but with the presilencers it might be somewhat quiet. The turbo is the best muffler in the world, so even no mufflers wouldn't be terrible.. My friend has a turbo with straight pipes and straight through HKS mufflers, and it is much quieter than my N/A with headers and the stock cat.

MAX-IMAL has magnaflows

When me and wankel7 drove his car it sounded like a small truck. Not the best of sounds at all really. I think that it took too much of the rotary sound away.
