Ok so the audio isn't amazing but it gives an idea.
I bought some of these 2.5" removable silencers from eBay, they didn't quite fit but a quick grind of a tiny bit of the flange and they are a snug fit now. I will weld a nut to the silencers and drill the tail pipes so they are held in place.
They stop some resonance and definitely make it quieter. I measured with an android app so i've no idea if it's accurate but it showed a 2dB reduction, I quite like the way they look as well. In the pictures it kind of makes the exhausts look really small but in real life it looks better.
When Shaun has mapped it and it stops chucking fuel out the exhausts i'll do some proper recording so people can see what it sounds like. Him and Phil have been brilliant so far, just can't wait to get it all sorted now.

Video - sounds a lot better with headphones or decent speakers

the mic on my camera just can't pick it up properly but in real life its quieter and from further back it kind of just takes the edge off so hopefully if it is too loud for any tracks without them in, they will come in handy.
Plus I think on long journeys with motorway cruising they will make it a nicer place in the cabin smile
