Before I look to remove the boxes - and a long shot...

I have one of the original Wortec cat back on the car - too quiet for me - and wondered if anyone wants to swap for an aftermarket that is noisier (just in case you have upset the neihbours ?

Just thought I would ask...

The difference between Wortec quiet and noisy is a small metal plate which is taken out.

All the guy`s with Wortec systems have the spacer you need to replace the plate with so I`m sure a set`s not far away.

That might not be so Jez, if he has like me a set of mid boxes, then those are what you remove and slip in the straight through pipes.

On loud they are 119dB. With headers they are 127dB.

Is there a need to go louder?

Environmental noise regulations usually specify a maximum outdoor noise level of 60 to 65 dB(A), while occupational safety organizations recommend that the maximum exposure to noise is 40 hours per week at 85 to 90 dB(A). For every additional 3 dB(A), the maximum exposure time is reduced by a factor 2, e.g. 20 hours per week at 88 dB(A). Sometimes, a factor of two per additional 5 dB(A) is used. However, these occupational regulations are acknowledged by the health literature as inadequate to protect against hearing loss and other health effects
