well the ST kits are also right up front and visable while the tt kits are way underneath the car and have some pipe to run through before you get to the turbo.

As long as the car pins me to the seat I wouldn't care about a whistling sound.

Yeah, i'm getting used to it. the car doesnt really pin me to the seat because the roads here suck and it will spin in 3rd and sometimes 4th and i'm running drag radial TA's it's just the roads. i did find a nice road where the tires held all through second ant that felt simply amazing.

well i think you have to remember how small the turbos actually are. the 18g turbos are really small so think of it this way. yelling through a straw. and yelling through a megaphone. the megaphone is gonna be louder. also external wastegates are good. and just run straight dumps. no need for exhaust if you want noise. ^^
