| I've got a decat and Alpina back box on a 328 E36. I'm in Perth, let me know if you want to meet up for a chat/listen. I and others are happy with the sound, not 'ned' at all. |

No bother mate, Steves system is cat back with original cat! Mines with original set up full scorpion decat is more beefy and deeper tone but you can tell its the sound of a big 6 not a chaved up booming exhaust to make it sound like it has power you can tell from the rumble it has power! But me having a M3 manifold conversion make a diffrence also being bigger diameter For MOT purpose Cat back is what you idealy want if you dont want to muck around mate. My new full M3 bore custom race system that is going on will have to be changed for MOT which is a pain but i dont mind! ------------- |

On the scorpion system, I do feel it is a bit loud inside the car. Pop along to the meeting on 6th and you can probably see and hear a range of different exhausts. Myself and Roddy will be there too -------------

Indeed, We shall be there my good fellow! Just to point out, Steve reckons his is pritty loud but that is mainly due to the fact he has M50 inlet conversion, Big bore throttle bodie and Dave F Style induction kit which all adds to the exhaust noise! So yours will be quiter than Steve's if you went for a Scorpion system. ------------- |
