Do you still have cats (i.e. are you looking for a muffler?)

get a y pipe and weld it to the pipe from the turbo...run you a exhaust pipe out the stock location and from the other side of the y pipe install you a electric cutout...

close the cutout and it will quiet the turbo down a bunch....

open it up to get rid of the exhaust gasses quicker and louder

Default No muffler

I wouldnt use a muffler. The turbo will kill the exhaust noise greatly. Just run it out the back or something to get it away from the cab.

an aerochamber with a electric cutout before it wouldn't be a bad idea.

like i said...try this...it's the cheapest thing going...hell leave out the y pipe and e cutout and just run you a tail pipe out the stock location...it will quiet it down alot....it's what i did to mine and i actually had to install the cutout to get some noise from the turbo....

I have a dynomax camaro muffler where my spare used to live. From the turbo, I have a piece that runs straight back into a Y with a cut-out, then hops the axle and goes into the camaro muffler, with twin tail pipes exiting that.

With the cutout closed it has really good tone and appropriate "stealth" volume. with the cutout open, it sounds like nascar until the turbo hits. Then it sounds like nascar with jet engines
