ive heard people saying that removing a silencer will make the exhaust louder... my backbox is shown above...any chance of doing something to make it louder?

remove the manifold, its not really needed, and will cater for your noise requirements.

I removed the center silencer on my saxo vts using a magnex straight through section and yes it made it louder but it also lost a noticable amount of low down torque due to the reduction in back-pressure.
Worth bearing in mind.

my 2.0 has a straight through exhaust no silencer/cat etc...very raspy when revs are up, nice rumble when idling and back firing when coming off throttle though 
but i think i am going to fit a middle box to quiten it down a bit...

if u want a nicer note then fit a bigger engine
Indction and exhaust was more than loud enough on my old 1.4, streight through 2.25" from manifold back on the XE even with two silencers is still too loud! If you do remove the cat then make sure you fit it again before MOTs
