Mild steel for a 3" turbo exhaust?

How does it sound? I haven't had good results from normal-thickness mild steel exhaust piping on NA rotaries. It always comes off sounding tinny and droning and stupid. However, that was always with 2" OD pipe and no turbo to tame the exhaust pulses. Is 3" OD 16-gauge mild steel feasible for a turbo exhaust system?

Also: I'm planning on running one of Racing Beat's universal presilencers and a Borla ProXS. Will that be headache-inducingly loud?
