What muffler/resonator that maintains turbine whistle?

a 416 that sounded like a v6?
Anyways anything straight through should keep that spool sound your looking for but still depends on the turbo. The reason the diesel trucks, specifically the Fords really have that distinct spool sound is because of the variable vane turbos that are used on them. They literally build boost on idle and how the vanes variably adjust is why they make that nice clear spool sound through the entire rpm band. It can be replicated but wont be as clear on a gas like it is on those diesel trucks. With my cutout open I could hear the turbo pretty clear and wasn't really that loud considering. The turbo exhaust housing muffles the engine down quite a bit. Ever thought about just running an electric cutout?

I know that some guys here using KB, Trick, or custom front mounts run diesel mufflers and just wanted feedback from them to see if turbine whistle sneaks through these diesel mufflers like the diesel guys.
I have a cutout right under the passengers feet right after the downpipe, but exhaust sound is much louder than turbine whistle. Also it really resonates badly under the truck and for my case its just mostly noise. I'm just looking at all possible choices.
Also just found out different turbo turbines are louder than others. YouTube videos tell me turbonetics turbines are loud. It's louder than my magnum and gt45.

Stainless Works has a variety of mufflers you guys may be interested in and we will build custom mufflers if you need a specific overall length and core size. Many of our customers have used our S-Tube, Smooth Tube & Vintage Round mufflers for custom turbo applications. We have seen the Retro-Chambered muffler used as well as it creates this really cool muscle car sound!

The only ones I've heard that had a lot of sound through the exhaust had no muffler. If you run a 4" exhaust it shouldn't be loud even without a muffler. A ball bearing turbo also makes the sound a lot longer.
He's talking about the jet sounding whirl through the exhaust not the sound of it spooling up like you are talking about.

I run a very long 4" magnaflow. I have followed behind my truck a few times and you can definatly here the turbine whistle. It starts at to do it right before the turbo starts creating boost and up to a few pounds. As boost rises though all you hear is the compressor screaming.
