removing the silencer, how much louder

[Jungle_Jim]

my exhaust seems to be blowing from the centre silencer box and rather than just replacing it i am thinking of removing the silencer all together and just having a pipe put in.
i currently have a powerflow backbox (which is about as loud as a magnex) i was just wondering if you guys knew how much louder the exhaust is without a silencer.

cheers guys

not much as the backbox is what makes the most difference to noise..

My 1.4 with a magnex and remus centre (No silencer) sounded like Mikes VTS with a magnex.

ok cool, cheers guys.

alex did you notice any performance gains or quicker throttle response from loosing the silencer

[hesslevtr]

will be a tad louder

[Jungle_Jim]

cool just didnt want it to become mental by doing it but if its only a bit louder then i will

I think any performance gain would be small so hard to tell.
