HKS Silent and HKS High Power

[SmithyDC5]

Having a bit if an issue, I currently have a near on brand new HKS Silent high power cat back on my Teg, it's a great sound but really is too quiet for my style of driving. What I would like to know is if I was to buy a HKS high power back box would it be a straight fit to my centre pipe? I understand this is a question not a lot of people would know the answer to but I can't find any info on the net as the Silent was discontinued quite a while ago.

Cheers

Is the funny little chamber on the top of the backbox not the part that reduces noise?

My theory would be cut it out, re weld it shut at try that. Would effectively be the same as an ordinary catback then, bit more noisy. And obviously if you keep the top chamber it would be reversible if it was not to your liking.

i had that exhaust before and had the box cut off and a straight B-pipe and the sound was much better!

yes mate it's got the resonator, considered chopping it off but then thought about keeping it standard for track use so I wouldn't need a baffle for noise limit as I don't know how loud it would be .

good shout, never thought about chopping the box out and I guess it was less restrictive? Is it the back box or the B pipe that has the resonator?

it gives a very raspy sound but tbh if you going to cut the box and get a straight B-pipe you might aswell get a different system, its a lot less hassle

spoke to my mate he welds for Porsche and said he would make stainless steel insert pipe for me and fit it for a score, getting a new HKS will set me back about £540 so il try this first, as long as it makes a bit more noise it will be ok for a while
