I used mine for a while with twins and an unsilenced mid pipe. It really got too much after 30 minutes or so on the motorway, so I changed it for a silenced one when I did the single conversion.

i just fitted a 80 mill SS un-silenced decat pipe, and a Dolphin cat back, and it is very quiet! i put that down to the Dolphin, known to be a quiet one, but i also have a 80 mill SS DP to fit before mapping, when iv\'e done that i may change back to my original cat back, as the car doesn\'t sound loud enough somehow, but may be too noisy then!

I\'ve got a very quiet setup with a cat and my neighbour complained... said it wasn\'t the volume of the noise that was the problem, but the frequency of the tone....  

sheesh!

personally, I would go silenced mid-pipe but really with the nur spec you are never going to get it quiet. If you want quieter with similar flow look at other makes SMB, Racing Beat...etc.

Go Non silenced and let the girl sing, Im running 3inch from the tub to a kakimoto rear silencer, well if you want to call it a silencer.

It\'s a touch anti social but who give\'s a monkey\'s

I\'m running an SMB 3.5"-3" downpipe into a 3" silenced Dragon midpipe into a 3" SMB backbox with 4" tailpipe......and you can still hear me a couple of streets away....when you put your foot down it\'s a whole different matter and gets quite loud.

Yeah, it has its drawbacks...

Hard to say.

The car seem quieter in the car with a straight through pipe. How ever saw 105.2db at the last trackday. Barely got away with it, had a 105db limit :Giggle

When I had the Feed mid pipe the exhaust was quieter outside but seemed to be much noiser in the car which made me go back to the staright through.

I\'ve got a feed 80mm downpipe (soon to be forsale), 80mm straight through and Ziegen 5 backbox.

If you want quiet go for a better back box, they make the most difference. If you have space own both and only use the midpipe when you need it.

I would go silenced, I wish I had now. Its great great for meets or shows or when with people that appreciate cars but you wont have many friendly neighbours if you go the unsilenced route.

Hey Shaun, have you decided how much you\'d let the downpipe go for yet? please drop me a line when you\'re looking to sell
thanks
