    you can change the backbox all you like but you wont change the sound much when you have a cat and centre silencer killing the sound.

    Its a each to their own exhaust as ive seen some arnt a fan of rasp or the exhaust altogether ha.
    
    With the rear windows open you can properly hear the rasp. IMO its not ott, pretty nice! Im dying to hear it flay past from 4-6k but i dont trust anyone to drive and my gfs crap with a cam..
    
    Anyway the exhaust the OP has looks nice! I wouldnt swap..
