Hey, my mate has a lukey sports turbo muffler that i can get for cheap for my shorty patrol 4.2 petrol.

Nah it won't hurt. I think they call them ''Turbo'' just to grab your attention. It's just a 'fast' muffler lol..

Some real Turbo mufflers have a larger inlet chamber to allow for gas expansion and cooling before exiting thru a smaller pipe.

I actually don't mind the turbo mufflers. They have quite a nice smoothing effect to the exhaust note. I have used Genie Turbo cans in the past.
