ok, having read all 25pages i think im sold on the cobra cat back. when i had my cupra r a few years back i put a blueflame on it and was slighlty disappointed with the noice or lack of. that said im 30 now with a 10month old so i need a happy medium.

4 options

cat back resonated without baffle

cat back resonated with baffle

cat back non resonated without baffle

cat back non resonated with baffle

or does the baffle actually make that much difference to the sound?

any help appreciated

ah, we are at opposite ends of the country so a swop would be difficult!

thanks for the feedback though, very helpful. i think i may go for a non res centre and baffle as a compromise.

dont suppose you have any vids of this set up do you?

Not sure about the baffles in the tailpipes.. maybe just becauses it's going from 3" single pipe from the backbox to a split Y shape then to 2no 3" pipes.?

Whatever it is... it has worked a treat.. :)

Much happier, now just need to get it lowered ASAP


Can you just clarify that this is the exact 3"twin slash cut from cobra or was it custom made tail pipe?

I've just changed my order to a 3" twin slash cut - to look OEM (and to be different to you lot!)

Stock down pipe for now.

Also ordered a BMC twin cone and heat shield from badger5

....

Il start a readers ride when all the bits get fitted :)

The stock cat dampens a lot of sound, Im experiencing the same with my Toyosports 3" decat. I love that its near silent with normal cruising and transforms into the Kraken when booting it :rofl:
