   my exhaust seems to be blowing from the centre silencer box and rather than just replacing it i am thinking of removing the silencer all together and just having a pipe put in.
   i currently have a powerflow backbox (which is about as loud as a magnex) i was just wondering if you guys knew how much louder the exhaust is without a silencer.
   
   cheers guys

   not much as the backbox is what makes the most difference to noise..

   My 1.4 with a magnex and remus centre (No silencer) sounded like Mikes VTS with a magnex.

   I think any performance gain would be small so hard to tell.
