Exhaust too loud!

3laner:
Put a mid pipe replacement and decat on yesterday. she now sounds lovely but is about as loud as a chav'd up corsa (obviously sounds better though!) whats the best way to silence it down a bit. I was thinking of putting the cat back on?

Chav lol...

It will get quieter after a few miles when the inside gets sooted up, but if you still find it too load then either:

Put the centre silencer back on - a much better option that putting the CAT back on

Or....

Give me a shout and I'll sort you out another centre pipe with a smaller than standard silencer, that is better with regards to flow than a standard one... and I'd take the straight through silencer back in part exchange  ;) - this will take the harshness off the noise.

cheers Ian! Ill give it a few miles and see what it sounds like then!if not ill get in touch about the smaller silencer! certainly gave the local corsa boys a run for their money when I went to get a takeaway last night! they couldnt work out where the noise was coming from when all they could see was a defender!

Lol...

You just need a stage 2 remap, a big cooler and one of my VNT conversions!!  Then you will really scare the 'chavs'.  My mate whose 90 has a genuine 186bhp (thanks to my remap, cooler etc etc) - loves winding up the local baseball cap brigade!  They don't expect a 90 to accelerate to 60 so quickly (about 8.5 seconds).

All being well, I will have some of the centre silencer pipes (i.e. one with a small silencer) 'on the shelf' as such in just over a week.

Landy Andy:
Can cat be removed with no noise increase?

Do you still get better performance?

Thanks Andy
