Reducing 03 STI exhaust noise?
My blob STI has a 3" decatted cobra exhaust with 5" back box, it has one really small box in the middle, after having a long run out in the car today (first time since buying it 6 months ago) I've decided the exhaust is ridiculous and after doing 70mph in 6th for more than 15 mins on the dual carriage way if I had a gun I would have shot myself
Question is.....could I replace the back box for a smaller item say 3" exit, would that reduce the noise at all and would it affect the map? It's mapped to 330 obviously with the decat but I'm sure it had a different exhaust before the last owner fitted this one and I don't think the map has been tweaked since.
Cheers
Mick

This is what I wanted to do, so I went to scoobyworld near were I live and they said change the back box and this would be fine as mine has ppp package. It would be quieter if I changed to i.e ninja.
Im still deciding.

It should do, I run a full decat 3",with a revolution track friendly system (center and back box). When I got the car it was loud! At Cadwell it tested at 92db or 94db, can't remember exactly but I'll know again on Saturday
