I've also been curious of this. I've heard some videos where it sounds more of a HHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA or strangled cat than an awesomely loud exhaust sound. I was looking at getting one also, but would be mortified if it sounded that bad, that loud.

Does the size of the wastegate have much to do with it?

Size of the gate itself has more of an effect that the length/shape of the pipe. I've seen many varying cars, and many varying sounds.

Remember also its pure exhaust, unmuffled by the turbo.

So the extractors/cams and other sound altering bits i think would have an effect.

That said, my ext gate was still the best sounding one that i've heard.

45mm, stock head, GTS-R manifold.

Here is the vid

I hope you have an external gate

our wastegate atm is a 38mm one a 48mm one is about to go on...but our pipe length is just a 45 degree bend straight out and towards the floor and it would only be like 200mm in overall length. It sounds tough out at the track. It actually overpowers everyother car out there in terms of exhaust note and loudness.

Chris - no idea about the gear. I wasnt paying attention :(

i dunno mine seems heaps louder then that different sound too i got a 38mm wastegate, and my pipe is bout a foot long strqight pipe.

Yeah, the video isnt "the best" in terms of raw sound quality. You really have to hear them in person.

I did try to get the better quality version but couldnt unfortunately

Roy with the Trust Hybrid/Ext gate also sounded similar to mine aswell.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
