Default Anybody done this???

I have a standard exhaust system on my 2002 wrx turbo just wondering if it would sound good with a straight pipe instead of a backbox? Any clips of sound would be great,
Already have a prodrive backbox but it's not loud enough

If you want sound you need to remove the centre cat and change the backbox,

It would be bloody loud
I have a sports cat on my classic with a resonator in the center section and Japspeed shotgun exit pipes. There is no back box and when you give it some welly its a bit too loud

Any sound clips by any chance? I'm guessing if I remove the back box it will get an idea how it would sound

I once paid a garage a tenner to cut open my backbox take the baffle out then weld it up again, it made a subtle difference.
