Default Bring the noise!

Can anyone help? Ive just fitted a centre decat pipe on my wrx bugeye and my car is a lot quieter. Im very disapointed. It used to scare young children and old people as I drove by. A plus point is it does seem more responsive but I used to love the noise. I thought fitting a decat pipe would make it louder but it hasnt. Is there a silencer of some sort between the cat and back box that I can remove and replace with just a pipe to get the noise back. Any help much appreciated

I can't understand how fitting a centre decat would make your car quieter . There is a section between the centre cat and back box with a resonator in it. Replacing this with a straight through pipe will make your car louder. See the "Centre Section" below.

Thanks mate. I couldnt understand why it would be quieter either. Can you buy this centre section pipe to remove the resonator and if so does anyone know where i can get one from. Cheers

Looks like a Afterburner Vortex centre pipe, Scoobyworld £10 cheaper.

Had mine fitted at H&S for £70 +VAT as part of the group buy, but I think they have a sale on for October ?
