and the worst thing is you'll loose back pressure making your car loose valuable torque and bhp

remvoing the middle box will also....what you may find though is the rev range will be a bit higher (it's all to do with compression)
you will also find fiting a backbox also make the peak bhp or torque a bit higher up too

I'm not really that fussed with gains as its slow anyway, its mainly for sound, miitch-golf on here has an ebay backbox and middle box removed and it sounds sick. Its really raspy on its way back down the rev range it pops and burbles.
What i want is the same thing just not as loud as his is too loud for me!
I was thinking of getting a backbox off ebay made by MIJ, its 80 odd quid and heard good things about them but if a cheap ebay one will give me the sound i want i may as well get that!
