If so removing this and replacing with a straight through pipe will certainly increase the burble and give you a louder/nicer exhaust note.

I'm not too sure then Dean but I believed that the Prodrive sports cat was the only one in the system with a pipe then to the resonator, you might want to remove this second cat and the resonator section as this will improve the exhaust note no end.

I suppose it depends on how well you get on with your neighbours, I'd certainly take out the pre muffler or sports cat and replace with a straight pipe and then if your not happy change the rear silencer.
Any increase in exhaust note would start with fitting a straight through section.
