Mine has, straight thru pipe, but think Magnex backbox's are designed to be quiet.

Still nice deep tone.

if it's too loud then maybe it's just a case of putting a centre box back in

3k is when my cars the loudest so that would make sence....
Fingers crossed that its below 101db at its loudest - dont care if its 100db or 10db long as its legal...

I will be so gutted if its not legal

If its to loud its a case of going all the way back down south and paying £80 to get it sorted plus the petrol, which means about £150 in total....

Which is money i dont have - but hey if it has to be done then thats life i guess.... will still be loud for PVS so thats one thing....

Just hope today brings good news and not bad

Coz its under warenty down south - if it falls apart, rusts etc..... they will sort it for free - if another exhaust place touches it now then that will be void.

Replace all the standard air box and paper filter - maybe ram a load of socks into the filter box too. Anything to keep the overall noise down

Chewy - yeah rang Zorst palce last time i got pulled was told £80 to make it quiter but it would still be loud just not as loud if that makes sence

Test today costs between £5 - £10 so thats not that bad....

Evisu - loud anyways mate..... but even louder when your going through the gears.... soon as it hits 3k its the loudest and as Corsa C 1.2 owners will know just about 60 is 3k
