Title: De-resonate/back box /custom
Post by: Nathan on May 01, 2019, 09:22:19 pm

Hello
Looking for a bit more exhaust noise without killing my bank account ,I've seen backbox deletes & clearing out the internals of the back box ..any opinions on what these sound like/I'm probably only going to go stage 1 and don't want to wake up the area :D

I would delete the first silencer first, rather than the back one.   Keep it handy in case you hate the noise and need to refit it. 

A lot of people end up chucking/selling their standard parts (exhausts and engine covers especially) and always end up regretting it  :grin:
