   hi all , so i had a custom backbox made and de-cat the front end .. the exhaust is loud infact to loud and gives a rasp kind of noise from the middle of the car .. also im noticing from vtr experience that there seems to be a power loss especially when casually driving at 30mph and wanting to increase speed ??
   
   any helps guys?

   cant see decatting it being the problem because most people say thats one of the things that gives them the most noticable increase (in terms of exhausts mods anyway)
   
   unless it hasn't been done properly, or the 'custom' part has been done for looks over performance...
