Got a back box at the moe, drilled airbox up front.

What to get some more noise out of it. Would putting the rest of the system in help give it a little more roar?! Its a Magnex 6x4 Oval back box on there.

Cheers.

If you want more noise get a straight through centre section with no silencer on it - about 70 quid from PVD.

No it runs between the cat and rear box. So fine for MOT's.

Quite a bit louder - this is what we run on our van, and at 70 quid it's a steal for a quality centre section!

piper-x induction kit would also give more noise....but make sure you've got plenty of cold air going to it for it to work as it should.

Noise gets alot louder that stantard.

Different people will say u get as much noise from drillin as induction, some peeps say induc better, some drillin better.

Way i looked at it was drillin 80 quid cheaper, try it, if u dont like it, then spend the money.

Ive done mine with 20ish holes, my mates with 40 and heard other sri's with induction. The one with the 40 holes sounds the best in my mind.

Performance wise, again different people think different things. I personally dont think u get much if any performance going either route. The car sounds more powerful so u put ure foot down more and it does seem faster, but i think its all in ure mind.

Hope this makes some sence and is of some help!
