Finally managed to modify my standard exhaust.
Bought one of Ebay for £62, cut the top of it and removed some internal pipework.
Had a local fabricator reweld it back on for £20
Took about an hour to remove my original and refit my modified one
I did a sound test before and after with my a decibel phone app.
It showed 88db 25cm from the exhaust tip at tickover, raising to about 102db at 5000rpm
The modified one reads 96db at tickover, raising to about 105db at 5000rpm
I'm very happy with sound, not much louder than stock but a deeper, more boomy sound
Performance doesnt seem any different, and no warning lights have flashed up (I didnt touch the cat, only cut the exit pipe and drilled some holes in final baffle chamber)
Well woth the time and £82, especially if you like the look of the standard exhaust
