I used X pipes to delete my catalysator and did the airbox mod with a K&N filter, also planned to flash the ECU.
However, after the Cat delete with keeping the original exhausts the sound was beautiful but too much.. I can't drive to work early in the morning like this, that would be anti social.. :cool:
So I decided to install a DB killer. couldn't find a decent one for the original Vmax exhausts so I had to be creative.
Bought 2 45mm wide 14cm long DB killers which fit exactly in the back of the exhausts..
Sound is great now but not so loud it will wake the neighbors at 05:00 am
EDIT: If you want to use this setup, remove the end stops in the DB killers. I left it in and found out on the Dynojet testbank it is smoothering the engine, it generates too much counterpressure and reduces BHP at the wheel.

That is why went with an Akrapovic mid pipe, cost a bit more on the front end but well worth it. Plenty of flow through the stock cans but not much louder than with the cat. Cuz I would have the same issue in my HOA if it were too loud.
