Hey Guys, been reading through this thread and i'm thinking of doing this mod just got a few questions
I have a gutted Airbox with a K&N Filter
Currently have a decat pipe in place
if i was to remove the centre muffler box and do this mod would it be too much ? (i realise its down to personal opinion)
is there any more information on it affecting performance ? or is it still regarded as being negligable?
thanks
Carl.

And performance wise, its negligable. Agree with that. I have a K&N CAI and Garage R decat with the 32mm mod and it is louder. It took me some getting used to but I absolutely love it now that the new steel has coked up a bit and its tone has become more, dare I say, supercar.
The little pops and bangs I get when heel and toeing on the downshifts is just brilliant too!!

Yeah, I have noticed mine backfires a little now when heel & toeing. I have always wanted a car that did that. The smile doesn't come off when it does that!

Wow, wow and wow!
The sound is just lovely, quiet around town, but when WOT it just kind of grumbles and really is what I'd of expected the car to sound like from the factory.!
Very happy I had the mod done, just wish I'd read this thread sooner!
Cannot recommend http://www.fabexhausts.com/ enough to get this done. They are happy to do the mod and it took about 2 hours from me dropping the car off, to picking it up again.
All in all £70 well spent!
Now for my K&N FIPK to arrive.

will be interesting to see what you think after the K&N goes in....
Mine seems to be getting slightly deeper in the note now...maybe the carbon, as suggested by RattyS2k, is building up ?
But it brings a smile every time I accelerate
and vtec ?.....mmmmmmmmm

Any half decent exhaust/metal fabricator in your local area should be able to do the mod. All I did was email the one I used with a link to this thread and asked for a quote.

Might get this mod done there myself so let me know how it goes
If not I've heard TGMsport in Fleet have done this.
