Default Dead silent car

So i was thinking you can get a silencer for your exhaust but can you silence a turbo? P.S. Does a silencer effect airflow? Or do you lose any hp by it? Im thinking no but cant be to sure

Sure you can. But you'd be choking the turbo. It'd be like you trying to breathe with a piece of food lodged in your throat.

The closest you're going to get is something similar to the stock airbox, a modest exhaust, and a diverter valve, no bov. Recirculation is better anyways. The pshh sound is ricey in my opinion.

the front mount intercooler is going to be a give away. but yeah, you can get a bypass valve or forge divertor instead of a BOV, and you can have resonators put on your exhaust to quiet it down. people won't mistake your car for stock, they will know there is something under the hood, but they won't know how big your stick is.

I'd suggest side mount intercoolers behind the fake vents, but I am not sure if air will reach it. Aerodynamics are wierd, you'd think air would be forced through those open holes, but you can never tell.
