How loud? Exhaust experiences pls

[AlanT]

Hi All,

I’m looking at options to swap out the twin pipe stainless system on my Spit 1500 for something a bit quieter / suited to longer trips. I’ve been offered what looks like a stock exhaust rear box but with twin pipes, a bit GT6. Quite like the look, but is this set up quieter than the big twin boxes? 
If not then I’ll return to stock setup.

Thanks

The GT6 rear box is a baffled box with twin tailpipes of differing internal length (if it's a proper one). This is about the quietest type there is. Definitely quieter than any of the boy racer wheel barrow handle types.

I drove a Mk4 Spitfire with a Stainless system that looked just like a standard GT6 rear box, it was a Bell Semi Sports one I beleive.

Boy was It loud! Much more raucous than the twin system.

Establish if that's one is a standard rear box, or look for a standard 1500 system.

Thanks. That’s encouraging. I was walking in Henley and a Triumph with (as you call them) ‘wheel barrow handles’ pulled up at the lights. It was just plain loud against the buildings for my taste. The pair on my car are ridiculous with the roof up! We will want to use the car to on long trips.

The one I’ve been offered is too short to be a standard GT6 box and it’s stainless. Suspect it’s the mega loud thing then! 
Will return to stock setup.

Thanks
