Fast Intentions exhaust is here!

Hey Tony I have a question why would the 3" exhaust be quieter than the 2.5. I thought the 3" would be louder if both were non-resonated.

I believe the 3" would be quieter because, in theory, it will be used in conjunction with a twin turbo kit. The turbos would provide a significant sound reduction compared to a straight shot right from the motor.

Oh ok I guess the turbos act like a kind of resonator.
