Best mod I have done to date.

I'll bet the sound most definitely improved... I would love to hear it!
Have you done any research into how a "less restrictive exhaust" like a 4" pipe, affects both torque and HP?
Usually, the results are surprisingly counterproductive on normally aspirated engines, but does the turbo get around that?
On normally aspirated engines, a "cat-back" dual exhaust system can increase both HP and Torque, but if they do, they usually have reduced pipe diameters.
