   What would it sound like if I ran a straight pipe from the manifold, which has the cat in it straight to the back of the car but without a backbox on the end? Would it be raspy or just poo?

   Oh ok lol what about if I ran a straight pipe bypassing the centre silencer out but with standard backbox, would that sound any better than normal?

   getting rid off the cat would sound be better or just buy an aftermarket back box

   Thanks mate I think that's what i'll do for now i'll just get a straight pipe bypassing the silencer and just use the standard VTR backbox, it sounds nice at high revs now with just the induction kit so I only want it to pop. I wont be getting a manifold until a few months anyways

   it will probably be louder with a vtr back box as its larger, and it doesnt pop and bang no where near as much compared to if i had the superspirnt back box

    i think id find it very funny at how shit it would sound
    
    about 6 years back i bought a boxless system for my current impreza. that did sound good. kept it for 18months then sold on. it was rediculous fun! i have no idea how it passed an mot. i guess my tester had respect
