So this past weekend I finished up my turbo swap on my lmm. Went to a s369sxe with a wehrli install kit. In the kit it comes with a 3 inch downpipe and I connected that up to a 4 inch straight pipes mbrp exhaust to a 6 inch tip. Well it sounds like shit, super raspy at 2600-2800 rpms. What are people running for exhaust to make it not sound like shit? Should I put a muffler in it? Would going to 5 inch fix it?

Aero turbine muffler gets my vote for fixed vane guys. Flow through but helps the raspy popping of a fixed vane IMO.

Get rid of that stupid tip for starters. As mentioned already a muffler will certainly help. And yes going to 5" will reduce the sharp raspiness of it and give a littler deeper tone. But it will be just as loud possibly louder. Just change the tone basically.

If your looking for a nice deep sound I'd go with a 5" system and find a place for a second muffler or a resonator.

Tips just cause echoes in my opinion. Unless they are close to the same size as the rest of the pipe.

With my 5", I put a 5" tip with a rolled edge on. It cut some of the raspyness. Was still too much, so I put a MBRP muffler that my buddy had at his shop on. Love the sound now.

I liked how my lml with a fixed vane sounded.. 5" exhaust with a muffler.. Was still decently loud but wasn't raspy as far as I could tell..

I'll try to take the tip off and see how it sounds and then go from there. I would rather not spend 1k on an exhaust system right now.

I ordered up an aero turbine muffler from Amazon for 89 bucks and free shipping. So I'll try that and removing the tip and hopefully I'll be good to go.
