I remember my buddies S14 240 was obnoxiously loud with a 3" when it was N/A and then he went turbo and it was just purring after that.
Exactly how I know. Every cheap exhaust for a 240 is 3", and all my friends had them, and none of them could afford a turbo kit or SR20DET swap. So loud and farty! I run a 2.5" mandrel-bent exhaust on my MR2 and it's stupid loud, too, but also because the piping is so short compared to a front-engine car. Can't wait to go turbo and not sound like a ricer anymore!
