exhaust note louder?

[AGO41T]

My A4 1.8t was quiet and a little boring even with a full three inch turbo back exhaust until i made an exhaust manifold and added a Garrett GT 25/30 and not only did it go great once tuned but the exhaust note was awesome under boost! gldgti is right the stock turbo is the best muffler you can get so upgrade and get the power and the exhaust note to match!

its got a k04, it already wheel spins coz its front wheel drive.. if i had a a4 1.8TQ then i would go bigga..

my exhuast note i already love.. wen the cars moving it sounds like a sr20.. several ppl have asked wot engine i have.. but it just needs a more aggressive idle

ive not had a turbo car myself but a guy at TAFE had a 180sx with a SR20DET which was fair worked. when making the change from stock cams to like Tomie 256* cams, it went from sounding like a jap import turbo thing with the stockies, to sounding like one ballsy, lumpy jap import thing with the cams.
seriously made it sound SO much tougher. and the torque curve recieved a massive midrange boost. basically made it heaps better all around.
ive seen that 256* cams are usually touted as FI cams for most engines, so i imagine they would do similar things to ur 1.8t.

if i had one, it would be one of the first things i would do engine wise after chip

the 256*'s made the idle sound like beating on a drum rather than just a humming kinda noise
