I just had my Centre section removed and its LOUD too. But TBH Chris yours was quite loud with the backbox alone, whereas mine wasn't. But i'd try taking the induction kit off for a start, back with the normal airbox

They are no written limits on noise the police can use. This means if the officer says you're too loud, your too loud, but it's not a road traffic offence, it's a civil order one, erm, drupting the peace type thing. The only limitI'm aware of is for the SVA test for kit cars etc... which is 105dB@1m from the tail pipe, and at 45degrees, @4500rpm. But the point being, they can't really tell you to change it.
Just go to your local SVA centre, and ask for it to be tested, then a letter from them to ream in police's faces is good, shuts them up I can tell you. Hope this helps.
