Since now you are still only pushing the exhaust out of a 2" hole... so basicly your whole exhaust behaves as 2" exhaust? Can someone explain me this?
You're pretty much right. What's the problem with it?

I get a stock sounding exhaust for daily driving, when I'm not driving agressively and I don't need too much power (with the turbo, it's hard to NOT have enough power, though). The exhaust flow is still a LOT better than stock, even with the silencers, so it's not like I'm losing more power than I started with.

Then, when I go race, I take the silencers out and romp around with the awesome sounds that are the Greddy DD and a TD05 turbo.
