Is it noisy cruising around or just when you are giving it hell?

I have only experienced ewgs in a large turbo setup when you have to really get on it to even build boost. So it was only obnoxious when you were going hard anyway. But with the standard turbo its building boost straight away even when cruising around.

It's going to be somewhat dependent on the springs, but you can definitely scoot around with them not even opening or build a little boost. When you build just a little boost (say 8psi for example) they will just start to crack open. You'll hear them, but they won't be screaming.

I've been running my EWG set up since May, I absolutely love it. I've got the Killer B EWG header, MAP intake and MAP catless J, Grimmspeed 3 port, EGR and TGV delete. I've got 10psi springs, and right at 6 psi they just start to open. Hardly noticeable until you build more boost. I'm able to drive around fine without being obnoxious. Here are a couple crappy snapchat vids someone took.

Does sound pretty loud when you get on it!

Why is the noise stuttering like that?

I'm pretty sure it's a combination of the boost controller opening and closing as well as the dual wastegates for the 2 exhaust banks.

The answer is, it depend on your goals. You can have a quiet setup that dumps to ground with a good tuner. I’m running 14.5 lb spring combo... my zero wastegate duty cycle holds 18 to 19lbs. That being said my gates start opening around 12lbs of boost with a target of 20lbs.

It’s certainly manageable to drive normal around town with out being obnoxious.

I’m having having mine plumbed back in to the exhaust to meet my goals.

MAP Catless J to stock Catback and stock mufflers. I did have muffler deletes, but that was just way too loud; Not that the wastegates aren't, but at least you can be quiet if you need to.

Ha, I have ETS Resonated J-Pipe, 3” mid-pipe to stock mufflers, I guess that’s why yours sounds just like mine. HA

I plan on doing a boost activated cut out at the Y-pipe on hobs switch so I can keep it off when I need it to be quiet under load.

Sounds good, man. I love the sound. I’m so glad I went with the EWGs.
