Hey I've seen some guys post about modifying the exhaust etc. to focus the sound more on the turbos than the v6. How would that work? It sounds like there is no way we are going to be able to get that deep grumble of v8 so maybe focusing on the turbos will give it a sweet sound but just in a different way?

What do yall think?

I have a Focus ST that the previous owner put an aftermarket blow off valve on. It's a novelty for about the first 50 miles and then it's annoying to me. Obviously just my opinion on that. I'd like to hear the turbos spool but don't really know how to make that sound louder.

You can barely hear the trubos on my F150

How to make a turbo sound better? Make the vehicle breath better. Different intakes, downpipes, and exhaust can all enhance the sound you can hear from turbo spool. And blow off valves are stupid and the only acceptable one is this one below:

Hahaha that's pretty hilarious. I'm wondering if they were expecting something better and that's what they got...

That's hilarious.

But that's about what I feel like when I'm driving down a road in town and every time I slightly breath the throttle the blow off valve sounds like a blew a tire.
