Mechanical is fine with me.. but it certainly is not. There would have to be some pretty incredible plumbing to result in that sort of noise when not on load (e.g., throttle blips). Doing so would compromise efficiency in every way that I can possibly think of applying it. What you're talking about, on the exhaust fine, will only give you noise under load. So, downshifting would still be nearly silent. Honestly, try downshifting in a 335is. What do you hear? .. maybe some tire noise? Wind? You'll hear the exhaust once you get back on it.
So, there is SIGNIFICANT audio enhancement here. This is the reality of a turbo system. The induction note is absent.
