I had one fitted with a decat and standard rear silencer. Wasn't too loud and had a nice raspy sound to it. Unable to say what it would sound like with an aftermarket back box. Was a terrible fit though, a couple of inches too short so had to get it extended before I could fit it. Might have been a one off but worth mentioning!!

That's not too bad then. My journey to work was 25mins with about 5 of that on motorway.. It sounded great on full chat..
A mate thought it was like a motorbike when I blitzed past him lol
But Tbh I prefer the sound of the full scorpion cat back Smile more raspy.

Had a decat, race tube and a jap back box on my p1 and that was very loud and screamed at you past 4.5krpm. Had the same in the p2 but with a scorpion backbox and was just as loud but was mega boomy and people could hear me comeing from half a mile down the road. Not that i give a f**k but my neighbours hated me going out early or comeing home late at night. Used to wake my nipper up so sold it. Now on the p3 got a cat back scorpion, standard cat and is just fine. My advice is if your N/A keep the cat on as without any boxes you do loose torque and it is noticeable
