Should I get straight pipes?

dang Chris, glad to see you come out the other side of that nasty affair.
Rob, took Ryan for a ride today...when he got in he said "the car is too quite" but once I went WOT and the external wastegates opened up he sang a different tune.

Thanks Sean. And thank god for morphine.
Open wastegates do have a NASTY scream unlike any exhaust or straight pipe as they exit before the turbo. I had a 96 Miata that I turbocharged with the WG pipe open. It scared the crap out of people. I miss that little 1.8L rocket...274rwhp and 2200 lbs.
Can't wait to see/feel/hear your car Sean. I recall you saying your GT28s having instant torque, like a V8. I know the top end now pulls like a train, but has it lost much low end grunt? Is it still street fun and peppy?

No, way more lag...before, instant and full power at 3.8 K but nothing more and even a fall off after 5.5K Now very little before 4.5K then all hell breaks loose until past 7K.
