Supersprint Race Only System
I currently have this on my VTS, with the straight through mid section. Although the exhaust sounds very good, it is far too loud for everyday use. It is starting to annoy me now as I am getting attention from people I dont want attention from(i.e- Police, Dirty fuckin chavs etc). I am going to change the unsilenced mid section for the Supersprint Race Only mid section WITH silencer, but keep the race only back box. I have a few questions to ask about this before I do it.
*Will I lose any performance?
*Will it still be raspy?
*Will it still pop, bang and flame etc?
If anyone can help me it would be much appreciated.
Cheers, Chris.

Still be raspy as mate, and will knock it down atleast 15db
Still pop and bang.

Might get a bit more torque with it being a 2 box system
But in all honestly Chris, Chris Paul changed his at Croft when i was there and it was just as loud

Im going to be running the supersprint with the mid silencer, just havent got to a point yet where i can fit it.
I decided on this setup to reduce risk of not passing DB tests on track.

I have the race backbox with mid silencer. Sounds ace! Lots of pops and bangs and a nice rasp. Noise is about spot on, not too loud but not too quiet. Really happy with mine...
