Just wondering if anyone has standard system with this silencer removed?

keeping my standard exhaust but going to remove this and make up pipework to replace.Just wondering if its going to be much louder?

Yeah I did this to my old VR. It does make a big difference in my opinion. It's loud and the wife could always tell when I got home from work purely on the exhaust noise, and this is from inside the house.

There is a main drawback though. I found driving along at roughly 3000rpm a nightmare. The exhaust drones away and is quite noticeable. I thought it sounded like the wheelbearings needed replacing only far louder.

Unfortunately I don't have the car or else I'd have posted a recording.

I suppose it's just as easy to weld it back on if you don't like the droning.

I'd recommend to put the money towards a new exhaust system first though.

you dont need to weld it back on it unbolts as the back box wont fit over the axel if you no wat i mean,

i wouldnt do it as it would be mad loud

I didnt think it would be too bad-i will have the standard back box still on-which in its self its restrictive and kills noise.

Spud the rest of your exhaust standard?
