Same I have the 3" backbox, sounds ok and looks the part but doesn't seem to make any real noise upwards of 3k.

Odd, mine sounds tame until 3k, then it sounds nuts. Proper raspy, lots of pops and it gets caught on afterburn really heavily when coming down through the gears :drink:

Mine is a 1.1. I have the race tube on mine but inside of the car it sounds really bassy upto 3k then it quietens right down as I hit 3.5k, 4k, 5k etc. Is yours decatted?
