Turbo'd cars are actually quite a bit quieter than their N/A counterparts. Open heads on a Turbo'd application wouldn't be half as nasty as the N/A application.
What about true dual exhaust with an H-Pipe? This negates the issue of a sloppy two-to-one-to-two transition yet the banks are equalized via the H-Pipe. Anyone running this set up? Is an X-Pipe more efficient than an H-Pipe?
Questions and more questions.

shouldn't it sound the same? You're just changing the block. .. unless you were talking about driving without any sort of muffling exhaust device at all (like no no exhaust plumbing?)? I'm confused, I figured a 3L would sound the same as a 2.5L given the same exhaust setup. . .maybe I misread. . .

Look at the angles and answer your own question.

3L is a bit louder. More volumn for combustion I guess. When I said I ran open exhaust, I meant what I said, nothing after the Y-pipe. EXTREMELY annoying, and it smelt really bad too.

Cannot run true dual with the turbo. It's a single turbo with single exhaust outlet from the turbo. You can't run two pipes.

Don't know how you're going to make two snails to fit under the hood...

They function on slightly different principles. The X-Pipe forces exhaust gasses to mix, the H-Pipe equalizes bank pressure.
Back to the question...

Now you are diggin' where there's taters!
I didn't think of the up-pipe problem. I guess you are right.

Yes, my answer was poorly written. Either way, the X pipe is more efficient, and that is probably why racing teams runs that over a H pipe.
