i got a piper decat with a silencer in it, supose it could look like a cat lol, it sounds good and improved the throttle responce a small bit. it dont sound raspy sounds a tad louder but nothing major. problem is you have a 2.5" bore so other systems may not fit. why aint loose baffles covered on the warrentee, i had a sportex system on my astra and it was covered on that as the ywent and i got a new one put it. | |

quote: quote: my mate has 1.6 8V polo with "Scorpion" back-box and thru "Powerflow" system, sounds very nice, DEEP-RUMBLY with no raspy/farty! so i will "Basically" have same system, current "Scorpion" back-box and a new straight thru system?? mine should sound same or even better as its 16v? it also has a much nicer/noticable induction intake sound from induction kit after 3k revs considering what ive said, what do you guys reckon it will sound like??? | |

Remember tho stu it does depend what backbox you have, I know with a Sebring box it sounds nice, other backboxes might be louder and more raspy | |

dont remove the centre section will be raspy and unbearable on long journeys, just decat it and but another centre box will sound nice...not cheap and nasty | |

De cat it and put an induction kit on if u havnt already!!! imo if u cut the middle silencer out ur just going to wreck a 300 quid system... plus the middle box looks nice lol... | |
