Hmm, read on as some education is in order
I also need some education on this subject, so if anyone is smarter than me - please post. I will not be offended!
1. DP's will change the way your car sounds, you will hear more of the turbo spool up. Now is that the noise you are after? Doubt it as most people would not attribute it to exhaust.
2. Very important and often forgotten side of sound tuning is the intake. I willing to venture out and say that you are not after more exhaust noise but rather intake noise! I for example want my car to be super loud when I am pushing it super hard. But mellow when I am stuck in traffic. That can be achieved by properly tuining intake - listen to a Porsche Boxster at full throttle. You think you are hearing exhaust, but most of what you hear is intake. So, I suggest that you find someone with modified intake and see if you like the sound.
