Very loud (esp with centre and decat). I had a full 3" Cobra system with the 4" rolled-in tail (+ decat) and it's loud like a Nur Spec or Firestorm is....

Oh it defo magnifies the burble alright!

It will be significantly louder than a very quiet exhaust (really?! lol), but it's not as if it's stupidly deafening or anything like that.........

It is v. loud for just a back box. But not as loud as if you also had the straight through centre and/or decat d/p, obviously.

Has your b.b. got the 2.5" inlet pipe option, or the 3" one? (I'm guessing the 2.5" one, as I don't think the 3" mates up to the OEM centre section?).

If so, then Cobra state that their 2.5" b.b., - and systems - are appreciably "quieter" than than their 3" ones...
