I ordered the unslienced pipe and ive just recieved the one on the RIGHT of the picture so im slightly confused as to the UNsilenced version. I would have thought it would be the one on the left??

The straight through pipe (unslienced) is the one on the right. It is basically just a pipe.

The one on the left is a silenced one, thats why its bigger.

quality, cheers mate. Will the one on the RIGHT improve the exhaust note at all(scorpion cat back)?? Havent had chance to try it yet because my car is still getting repaired.

It will make it quite a lot louder yeah! Ive got one along with a full KTR system and it sounds like a rally car!

i had the one on the right (non silanced) with scorpian cat-back. but i thaught it made it sound sh*t! IMO

So now i have the silanced on on the left!

16V_matt, sh*t as in nova sh*t?!? Dont want my valver to go farting down the road!

The one on the right is the unsilenced one. The basic rule of exhausts is the more silencing you want the more material you will have around the main pipe. So a straight through will have no silencing at all. Whether you like that sound or not is up to you. A silenced one will still be louder than a cat but something like a Magnex decat pipe is a proper big silencer the same size as the original cat so it doesnt make the system any noisier than with the cat on.,

yea. although mines unsilenced and it still didnt make it louder than b4

Dunno bout nova because i was inside! bet it made it sound horrible and made that nasty buxxin noise!

but the silanced one just makes the scorpian system sound a little louder! just how i like it!
