Default 'old' mans exhaust query! LOL

As i am getting on a bit now (40) i can no longer stand the drone from my exhaust and for some weird reason, i have suddenly developed a conscience and am now thinking about the neighbours when i start my car up in my garage at 5.30am on my early shift! LOL.
to this end i have ordered the Racebox from Scooyworld for them to fit.

I currently have a TSL Thundercat downpipe, decat centre, Ninja 1 BB.

Question:- If i were to also buy a resonated centre pipe to go along with the Racebox, would this restrict the flow too much? Bearing in mind the car is mapped to the current set up.

I feel the Racebox will be enough to quiet it down and stop the cruising drone i currently have, but was maybe gonna go the whole 'stealth' way and go resonated too.

thx for any comments.

Could also consider a ScoobyWorld Bung for your current exhaust. From what I'm told does a good job of muting the exhaust. Added bonus is it's only £25 !!

Nothing wrong with you, mate. With "maturity" comes a heightened sense of responsibility and common sense. You have finally realised that lots of noise does not necessarily mean lots of power. Well done!
