Dumb question/first turbo car
Ok, hate to ask what seems like could be such a dumb question, but this is the first turbo car I have owned so my experience is limited.
Installed a JB4, and Axle back Berk Sport. Everything else is stock. Just rolled over the 1200 mile break in. As the weather gets nicer I have been rolling with my windows down. When on the highway next to a jersey wall I can hear a lot more of the exhaust and sounds the car is making. When under full power/load, there is a noise that I am not used to hearing. Its not a turbo spool noise but a very raspy almost rattle like sound with the exhaust. It doesn't necessarily sound bad, but ive never had a car that makes this distinct noise before. It almost sounds like some of the heavily tuned cars with massive down pipes kind of noise that I have seen in youtube videos on here. Is this a normal sound for a N55 running stock DP? Like I said, this feels like a dumb question but, I was thinking that this car when stock wouldnt make that kind of racket. Go easy on me lol. My mechanical/automotive knowledge extends almost exclusively to motorcycles. Im hoping that this is just the normal sound cause it is pretty nasty

Gasket is reused from stock exhaust...looked like a teflon weave kind of deal that was attached onto the end of the midpipes. Instructions said that it is re-usable and to re-use it. I will get it underneath sometime this week and check the bolts. Don't see how they could come out with the springs loading them though.

may have a slight exhaust gas leak. I had a leak when I first installed my midpipes and I went back under, gave the bolts an extra turn and that did the trick.
