I hope someone can help me make my mind up, ive got a straight through pipe on her now with the mid to back box conversion. I like the sound, its not too noisy either. I would like to get more of a whistle out of the exhaust, what would be the best way, a straight through completely or put a 'performance' silencer in place of the backbox
Any ideas chaps?
Thanks
Matt

Complete straight through if you want a better whistle...

Yes, but it'll whistle well! Tbh it wasn't too bad at idle, was loud when revved though.
Putting any sort of silencer in will 'bounce' the noise around and distort it. I've noticed a huge difference in whistle between a straight through turbo back, and a straight though cat back. Its much quieter and a lot less whistly with the cat in place, and a silencer will have the same effect, although not quite so much.

Well no backbox. Just a pipe the whole way sounds the best. And a 4 inch tip looks good, fills the cutout in the hdi bumper.
