   As above, been driving around for a few weeks now, got a 3" sebring back box, decat pipe + straight through mid section... so the only silencer is the box. But somehow it isnt very loud!
   Is this normal? lol

   I can't tell what your opinion of loud is lol
   
   But from what you described i would expect it to be on the loud side. Maybe add a 4-2-1 manifold aswell? Might make it slightly more loud for you and get you a little power gain at the same time

   i was just expecting it to be very loud without a silencer and a cat..... lol as i watched a few vids on youtube before replacing the exhaust sections.
   sounds just the same as before.

   I had a 4-2-1>decat>striaght through>peco backbox and it was that loud... obviously you could hear it but... when crusing 30-40mph just used to purr nicely then put your foot down and then it was loud....
