Since when do turbo's make a car quieter? Every (aftermarket) turbo car I've ever heard is quite a bit louder then the same car with no turbo. Someone is doing it wrong.

Perhaps they mean that companies are using smaller engines whilst keeping the power with turbos, thus the engine sound is smaller too?

No way. A turbo itself acts as a pseudo-muffler, the sound having to go through the turbine before exiting. Ever wonder why turbo cars like sti's can run straightpiped exhaust and not be insanely loud?(just loud with a lot of droning) Now think of how loud a non-turbo like an m20 would be straight piped.

^^my car with an exhaust leak

Its fucking loud. It sounds like a serious v8 but moves out like a Civic.

Why not just not install a shit ton of sound deadening material? Seems to me like we're creating a problem, then creating another problem that can be eliminated by removing the first problem.
