Delete the mid silencer or delete the back box and add my own tip?

or is there anything else that can be done?

its a 1.6 just looking for a wee bit of noise.

Let me know what you have done to give me some ideas cheers.

Delete the middle box, makes a lot of difference.

I drove round for a few days without a backbox on, and it didn't really sound any different. Removing the cat gives it a grunt.
