Default De Catted and full 3" Fitted but a funny noise

Hi Guys.


Just fitted a 3" system to the car from the turbo back with a twin de by pass, and it sounds awsome. The only question i have is others that have doen this, does it make a louder waste gate sound?

you can now hear my turbo spool up more and hear the "tshh" noise a bit too. Is this normal or have i not put a pipe on some were, certinaly not effected performance its defo a lot sharper

Thanks

Phew, I was worried thought id not fastened the boost pipes up enough....

Its really strange how much more power the car seems to have in every gear !!! seems a little strange on IDLE but may be just the car getting used to the fueling.

The job over all was a swine, removed intercooler and the head shiled for the turbo was a right Bugger, The bolts came off pretty easly just acsess was a problem, the full exhaust took about 4 hours to do due to niggly bolts etc etc, but once on looks and sound the boy....... The system that was on the car was a Sirbring Cat back, and if im 100% honest this decat and full 3" system seems quiter!!! even my mrs has said. Strange

IIRC the Revolution exhaust isn't renowned for being noisy.
