How loud is loud mate? Have you had it sound tested? I'm not sure exactly but is the legal noise limit 85db or there abouts?

HKS silent hi power is your answer,gives enough of a burble, but will not drone on long trips.

Have another box wellded in mid pipe like the hks, will make it a bit quieter but wont effect the power that much.

buy a focus

or change the back box to a more baffled one

the exhaust bungs fit into the tail pipe, but seems a bit pointless having to put in and remove etc..
best to get a different back box
