I kinda thought the twins would be louder, but they are a lot quieter than the old Cheetah was, and the Cheetah is still sitting in the stock location
Its a Borgwarner thing Larry.
The garretts howl/shreik much louder. If you ride in a garrett-MPI twin setup and then go back to a Borg Warner MPI setup its really a letdown.
Now the garrett-twin setups whistle LOUD, as I said, but the sound is NOTHING like a loud cheetah. I find the cheetahs alone flat out obnoxious. Theyre like a dentist drill...just a RASPY cackley shrill sound. The big garretts that nathan uses on some of his twins just have a nice SMOOTH whoosh with a lower-pitched LOUD whistle on top of it.
I went from garrett MPI twins (sold them to a buddy) to my custom S480 twins that I built myself and I almost cried the first time I drove it. Couldnt beleive how quiet the whistle was from the big turbo. I used to get double-takes from everyone that I drove by, especially ricers and small cars, you could just see the "OMG WTF...turbo whistle much!!?!?" look on their face. Now they dont even notice when I drive by haha.
Just my opinion.
