   I fitted the kam race system today, kam backbox with supersprint section and was expecting a raspy sound but instead its really really quiet? is there no difference without decatting it?

   A decat will really liven it up mate, aswel as a manifold.
   
   But it should be louder / more raspy than standard
   
   Will get louder with time mate

   All there is now is the cat in the manifold restricting it, the SS pipe is from the manifold back. Is there much sound difference between the SS backbox and the kam backbox?

   what planet rover said. lol
   
   mine even with 4-2-1 and de-cat was quiet when i first fitted it... was quite dissapointed.
   
   but now, i love it, pops lots, is lots louder, and rasps too
