Catless downpipe

I own a 2013 JCW Coupe with a Quicksilver exhaust. I love the sound and the slight increase in horsepower. I'm considering installing a ECU upgrade and a catless downpipe. My concern is weather the catless downpipe will make the car to loud.Anybody out there running a Quicksilver exhaust with a catless down pipe? Or any after market exhaust with catless downpipe?

Both my Mini's are catless with exhaust, love them. Expect a 15% increase in sound.

I was using Miltek and then once I went to a larger turbo...the new downpipe came with the ATP Garrett GT28RS Turbo.

We have our own WMW Downpipe
https://www.waymotorworks.com/wmw-ca...8-r59-r60.html

And yes it will be louder, but never matched one with a Quicksilver exh as those are rare since many people don't use the Quicksilver. With the Akrpaovic, Milltek, JCW, or Invidia it sounds good.

Disclaimer; I've been on this forum for almost four years... Somehow my account dropped and all my cred's with it. I don't have the quicksilver, but I am running Mario's DP with my CNT Exh. First off, for price and quality craftmanship; M Quebed Catless DP is the way to go. You have two choices to eliminate the CEL; BMS JB+ or Manic Tune. If you are not ready for a tune, I would hold off; especially if you have an emissions check in the near future.

I have an R60 with catless DP, no 2nd cat or res and stock muffler. On the streets I cannot get enough of the sound! Sounds like a little V8! Highway is quiet up until 60mph or heavy loaded uphills, then it is a different story. I'm assuming the QS exhaust does not have more sound suppression than the stock muffler so I can only conclude that it will be louder than what I have. If you need something quiet'ish for long drives I'd be weary, might want to add another resonator, if not it will probably sound awesome.
