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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
