You really need a silenced/resinated centre section to use with it then, or it will be very loud as the the HKS backbox's are just straight through cans/mufflers.

Kev

No centre silencer so it would be far to loud for me I'm afraid... mine's just the right volume now but visually the Hyper would get the choice.

Mark, you should offer the centre section with it as it will probably kill the sound on the new back box as well

Thats my problem Mark, my middle section is straight through, no silencer/resonator. The only silencer is the back box and it doesn't silence much! I've just bought a wide mouth decat downpipe to replace the standard skinny half blocked one....i may as well rip my ears off and throw them in the bin now!

Had it fitted this morning , although I needed a reducer to mate it to my standard system. It was suprising as it isn't that loud. I expected it to blow my head off but it gives a nice burble on tickover and isn't too loud on the motorway run!
