My TSL firestorm system sounds great but not too loud. The neighbours have never mention it and I'm sure they would if it was too loud.

Also you can easily hear each other in the car at high speeds where some exhaust systems are just impractical for everyday driving.

the origional unit prob as good as youll get for low noise, tbh

why you need so quiet? early morning starts and bad neighbours, just tickle it out your road and saty off loud pedal until out of habitated areas,
too loud in car- turn up stereo lol

I had a decat downpipe and centre pipe with vortex can and it sounded like a frickin chinook! I have found a happy medium tho! I have kept the decat downpipe to help with turbo spool but reinstated the centre cat. This made i very very small difference but when i added the hayward and scott backbox with 3" exit its a complete change in sound Db. Still grumbles but doesnt rattle the letter box lol. I finnished this last week and during a trip to bristol me and the mrs were amazed with the difference!

Why don't you try the Cobra Track day friendly system. 97 DB on a decat & not a bad price. Mine arrives next week,& if you can wait there is a group buy discount on here.

i just got a de-catted Milltek fitted , quieter that what i thought , but probably for the best. Normal burble while cruising , but nice on boost. Think it has a resonater (bought it 2nd hand) and have a few clips on Youtube , but its damn hard getting decent sound off a camera phone.

+1 for Milltek. I have had a Ninja, Magnex and Now Milltek and by far the quietest of the three.

I use a ninja 2 with a deresonated centre and it's quite nice.
I'd imagine with a resonated centre it would be pretty quiet.
