its just the way ther 1.6 sport sounds with a decat, the whole point in havinb a de-cat is for the sound, just put a standard cat on and get a full stainless with middle and back silencers then it will sound mint, wont be loud but wont be tinny! will be deeper

I can't understand it. Either Exhaust UK are fantastic or mine is broken.

I don't ever have that rasping noise. Only if it coming apart from the de-cat to middle section.

This is what i have.

The raspy sound can depend on the wall thickness of the stainless, the thinner it is the raspier it is.

Bore size of your system makes a difference too
