Too loud, the turbo muffles a lot of the sound and keeps the noise level acceptable.....a straight pipe on a non-turbo is going to sound like you're in the engine room of a 1900's ship! 
The turbo spools faster and there's more low end torque with a straight pipe....thats the biggest difference I noted....as well as about 1mpg....
