Jason, you're not getting this at all are you? 
JASMA, think of it like a TUV mark or a BSI kitemark.
Loud exhausts DO NOT ACHIEVE THE RATING.
end of.
Now we hear that Kareena has a mix-match of exhausts thats have been welded together. Ahhh. still dropping in annoying/banned text speak but she is getting better
Jason, please consider that whoever's exhaust you heard either had a leak, the wadding was shot or it was welded sections as above.

The point though, is that JASMA approval is granted to the OPs rear section, not the non-resonated centre nor the catalytic convertor free downpipe. These are the sections responsible for the greatly increased noise and it is not possible to legally run a road car without a cat in Japan: so they certainly arent approved.

Either way, JASMA exhausts can be a lot louder than standard.

kareena, what size is the pipe work under the car?? i think you might have a straight thru 3" system.
sorry just re-read the first post
The system on your car will be loud as it is a 3" system with no cat or resonator. The only way your gonna lower the sound is either to fit a resonator or get a bung for it. I would love to swap systems with you but my neighbours would not take too kindly to it at 5am every morning

Nice firery thread Now for my 2 penneth, Kereena i dont think your gonna get a swop as your system sounds like a welded up mis-match (no offence). I run a 3" full decat with the center resonator and a stupid 4.5" tailpipe with no bung, it does pop/bang here and there but i have no noise problems at all, nice but not plod attractive
So as GC8 says really, the center pipe with resonator is enough to make it sensible coz there is nothing else on mine to quiten it

If you want something quieter but still on a full decat get a TSL backbox. Mine's really not that loud at all, in fact it only sounds throaty with the windows down and on full throttle. The rest of the time it's really quiet (and that's with a full decat and unresonated 2.5" centre section).

Kareena, just get a center resonated section fitted (if the welding hasn't ruined the flanges!). Pointless getting a whole new system if you don't need to isn't it?
Fit it and see what you think. If you still want to change the rest you can and you will already have the center section so nowt lost. What ya reckon?
