'Twill yeah. But...dunno in fact, can ya expect more of the lovely 'burble' us Flat 4' owners have, or will it steal from that distinctive sound?

Mine is very noisy so much so that i'm thinking of changin g the set up in the future.

I like loud but mine can be quite obtrusive.

Yep. I'd suggest you get the centre pipe resonated to avoid drone in the cabin.

i run a center resonator pipe with an otherwise decatted system.... swapped the resonator for a cat pipe for the mot and it was louder........ go figure

Sports Cat won't make what you have any louder, will improve it IMHO. I had the H&S identical set up to the After burner on MY03 WRX and it made the sound more complete/rich.
