good choice mate, love mine! Go for straight through with a middle box delete and then the smallest powerflow backbox where the old one was, sounds lovely and is still nice on the motorway :)

this is what i had done... I'm really intrigued to see what they do about the tail pipe exit on yours, sometimes wonder if I should have gone for a tip of some sort!

Yeah its nice and loud under load and burbles on idle. The best bit of it is to shove it in manual, and with 50-100% throttle on change up between 4000-5000 rpm and hear the bangs! Came back from Brands Hatch via the Dartford tunnel the other week went up and down the box having a hoon lol, i guarentee it will bring out the big kid in you! I have managed to make a chav drop his food as he came out the chippy by popping the exhaust LOL.

Let me know what you think to no backboxes, must admit I am tempted to remove mine and go straight through. When the manager of the place came out when i had it fitted he saw the little box and said "you're brave!" but when we fired it up it wasnt as loud as we expected it to be. I guess thats the supercharger and turbo quietening it down!

Err I have some videos somewhere, will have to dig them out. Only problem is the video doesn't do the sound justice.

Nah unfortunately not even Stage 1 yet!! Waiting for the Revo sale later in the year to get a Stage 1, slowly getting my mods done though lol

Just out of interest where are you getting yours done?

nice one! you running a similar set up to me then? shame the tips dont really fit, not much room to turn the pipe and fit one i guess.

really wish they did a smaller box than the smallest they do, kind of want one half the size again for noise between the two!

was it that much louder straight through then?
