Default are K04's "louder"?

I'm sure we all appreciate that sound of the turbo spooling up......
and wouldn't it be nicer if it was just a little louder....
so are the K04's (awe to be specific) any louder?

yeah alot louder, you can hear them spool with a radio on at 5psi. If you have a highflow cat,downpipe, along with a p&p manifold, sounds sooooo sick.

Passed emmision fine with my k04...im screwed now though. I think I'm gonna hafta find "a guy" to pass me.

Yes the k04 was much louder than the 28rs, then again I'm only running 15psi right now, and I had a fmic with my k04 and wont have my new intercooler until next week. I think it will be louder once that's in
