After market exhaust

[Guest Scottywil]

Recently, holes have popped up on both my exhausts so its finally time for the full stainless. I know what style i want and i know where im going to get it but just needed to know one thing.

Should i lose the middle boxes? Will it be too loud with them removed?

I want it louder but not stupid loud. Want to emphasise the V6 sound.

 

Cheers

It's not too loud with the middle boxes out if you keep the rear one(s) a decent size.

Where in the Kingdom are you? Mine is 3.5" cat back to Apexi cans with 5" ends. I wish I could turn the noise down a bit sometimes but other times its pretty OK.

Lovely Kirkcaldy :)

Good good. It will be getting de-catted soon as well. Will that make much difference?

Iv got the mongoose system, which has no centre boxes & its not much louder than stock, just has a nicer tone to it :)

[Guest Scottywil]

Cheers Paul. Looks like i'll go with no centre boxes. Just hope its not too loud when the cats are removed.

You get used to the new sound :D. I wanted my cats back on until I got used to it, now it's just lovely. Wouldn't want it stock again.

[Guest Scottywil]

Do you have centre boxes Rich?

My LWB is de-catted, and has no centre box's. Loud, but sounds gorgeous. The SWB is also de-catted but has silencer's in the de-cat pipes and huge middle boxes - sounds discreet, but you loose the v6 snarl.

 

Will be swapping the centre section over soon ;)

I've got the pipes going into a centre box, but it's quite compact, then out to boxes at either side. Sounds quite loud (to me!) so I think maybe it needed something there just to keep it under control, but I'd like to hear what an NA with straight through pipes sounded like. I was told the decatting would make about 60% of the sound/ Is that true?
