Something is installed wrong. It shouldn't be a bad at all. I'm not saying I have catless downpipes and catless midpipes but if I did then everyone that has ever gotten into the car said (or would say) it sounds great. It's defintely a bit louder, but not bad in anyway. You can definitely hear the turbo whoosh more but that's not bad either. I've had (or would) someone say is sounds exotic. I recommend a freer flowing air intake to complete the symphony of sound.

Basically though somethings not right with your install if you don't think it sounds great!
