N/A vs Turbo'd Exhaust sounds

[Saleti]

Hi, 

I own a N/A 2007 Subaru legacy sedan, with an EJ20 

I am wondering if a N/A EJ20 engine can sound the same as a turbo'd EJ20? 

For example if i installed a full exhaust kit (INVIDIA) or along those lines if I could achieve the same sound?

Thanks a bunch

They don't sound the same unfortunately.

Without the turbo quietening the exhaust it's likely to just sound raspy and loud.

They just drone and sound bad. Raspy would be okay.

You won't get the exact same sound.

Best bet is to just try and make t sound good.

Youtube some clips of N/A Subaru exhaust set ups. They don't sound like a turbo but there are some nice sounding N/A's on there.

Put a turbo and turbo extractors on it but don't plumb anything up turbo wise except the exhaust and oil/coolant lines. Run the N/A as per normal just reroute intake pipe. 

 

Boom!

 

Do it be Brave

It'll over speed the turbo... you'd need to put a reducer on the turbo output to provide some resistance... or do you mean plumb the output of the turbo into the throttle without an intercooler? Would work with E85.

I mean running an NA setup but bolting on a non functional turbo system that outputs to atmosphere just for a laugh , hell maybe you could rig up a bov or a wastegate to the setup for ultimate laughs

NA usually equal length headers and Turbo ones unequal length but even that is only part of it, not having a turbo also chances it a bit. Here is my old NA Impreza. I can hear a tiny bit of boxer (I think) lol.

Actually I must record my current car exhaust just for the lolz.
