I'm guessing you think he's talking about the resonator in the exhaust. The intake silencer removal doesn't increase noise very much at all.

No, I know what he was talking about. I think it did make alot of noise, but that's my opinion. You can clearly hear the turbo, wastegate and what sounded like a **** star sucking air in. I thought it was annoying and put it back. No reputable tuner has ever shown a hp increase with it removed.

i agree...you can clearly hear an increase in sound turbo spool,wastegate flutter,stock bypass valve, sucking noise.....but still no performance.

If you have a DP that is not cast iron at the turbo outlet it will increase the sound of the turbo quite a bit. Like you I dont care for excessive noise and my TXS DP is a little loud for my taste. I'm thinking of wrapping it to get rid of some of the noise.
