I didnt notice any more noise when I did mine.

Is the full exhaust hooked up, or jus the DP??? Mine rubbed on the firewall a bit and that caused some noise to come through the floor, once that was fixed all has been quiet.

Make sure you got a good seal at the turbo outlet also. There is a lot of air moving through there.

I had more noise when I first installed my dp. Found dp touching up pipe causing vibration. After that was corrected everything quieted down, good luck.
