Default bungs baffles an performace

hi all

Love the noise my scoob makes around town an when im having a proper drive.
However on longer journeys the drone an boom is getting tiresome. The novelty has worn off.
Its got a sports catted down pipe decat centre an a ninja 1 back box on it.
Would an exhaust tip bung cut the noise on the motorway as above 80 odd mph you have to almost shout to be heard by passengers. I know bungs are removable.
Would a mid section silencer sliced onto the centre section help.
Would I loose alot of power with both?

please help my ears

I sometimes use the bung on my afterburner back box, and it does cut alot of the noise and make journeys easier. The only thing is, even being held in with 2 screws, it tries to remove itself and ends up making a weird noise as the exhaust gases escape through the gaps. I have been advised not to floor it with the bung in, although surley at 80 odd mph the same problem would apply.

For optimal performance, use the bung in conjunction with a cardboard box and a cupboard
