Car is niw way to loud loads of drone on motorway and even lots of vibration under high revs... I've heard of people with decat system but hiw do they stick the noise In the cabin I really feel like my head is going to explode I've added a pic of what's now in place an opinions would be appreciated...

Put the oem one back, or get a system designed for the car i.e. Miltek. A custom backbox isn't usually tuned for the car so can be good or bad tbh.

You should also put a resonator in as those are for reducing drone. I don't personally have one on my cupra but still have two backboxes (oem) which mute it enough still :)

How is it you have 2 back boxes on your cupra and mine had 1 oem? I might try a Resonator in the middle see if that will reduce drone enough it sounds really good under harsh acceleration but cruising is just horrible... 👍

Ahh ok and does yours have a Resonator in the middle?
No I removed it. It doesn't really drone on the estates. but if you're on a hatch back then I'd go Res delete stock backbox. Otherwise it's up to you. Different tolerances between people to be honest
