yeah... it was turbo... but prior to the turbo it stil wasn't close. then again... i'm dealing w/ almost exactly twice the motor.
anyway... i had my test pipes on w/ the stock exhaust for a week almost... and i also noticed the raspiness. im gonna try the resonators tomorrow and see what that yields. i did notice w/ the combo of better flowing exhaust all around... a slight (very slight) difference in torque. i have no number of course... but the difference was noticeable because my stock resonators were clogged. i made test pipes to replace that as well. the cats were hollowed... and rusted out. the resonators were rusted and leaking... and the same goes for the stock mufflers.
