Changing backbox on hawk JDM
Just picked up a with a decatted Milltek with resonators. Although reviews I've read of the Milltek praise its sound, I find it much less pleasing than my blob JDM which has a decat H&S system with no resonators. The Hawk is more gruff, harsh and ordinary sounding compared with the blob which is smoother and more like a thoroughbred, if that makes any sense.
I have read that changing the backbox only not a good idea...am I better off with an entire new system?
If I can change backbox only - would an H&S backbox sound mated to a resonated Milltek centre sound anything like a full H&S unresonated system?

If you want more noise, the cheapest option would be to have the resonator cut out and replaced with a straight through section. Any decent fabrication/performance centre should be able to do this pretty cheaply imo.

I'm not necessarily looking for more noise, but rather to change the quality of noise - the Hawk sounds more "ordinary" and a bit "harsh" compared to the blob which sounds more "thoroughbred" if that makes sense. Just wondering if that's down to the resonator or whether a change of backbox would help.
