Default want to quieten my exhaust a little.....

hi all

Ive got a 100cell down pipe an straight through centre section finishing in a ninja back box. I love the sound on start up, love rumbling around, cheeky wee pops an bangs etc (neighbours dont though
However on long drives its getting a little tiresome.
I dont want to loose the back box or any performance and was thinking about a silenced centre section. Any recomendations to save my hearing on longer drives?

You could always turn up your stereo on long journeys LOL

Or buy a resonated centre section

are resonated centre sections just the same as silenced ones?
Is there any power to be lost choosing one or the other over the straight through centre I have on it just now.

Not 100% sure as to your above question but ScoobyWorld do a sports resonated section it looks a bit like the old Cherry bomb silencers you used to get but in stainless steel, I cant see that its going to restrict performance and if it was it must be minimal.

Yeah I saw those but wasnt sure that theyd cut the noise that much.
Guess im just getting old and want less nagging from the wife........

Might bung one on and see if it cuts the noise on motorways.
