Dont know who makes this decat, but the 1st small box is a flexi joint,and the 2nd is a small resonator(similar to a cherry bomb),just to kill some of the noise from a 'full' decat

Both the silencer and the flexi will cause disturbance/restriction at a crucial point, no telling whats inside that can either. To me it looks cheap and nasty, i would rather spend another £50-60 and get a nice quality straight through. If noise is an issue then quieten it at the **** end. All IMHO
