Right, thought i'd start a new thread about this since it is something I have to deal with fairly soon.
I currently have the following exhaust configuration: Stock Manifold > Stock Cat > Cobra B pipe (looks to have a silencer but feels like it's seen better days) > Toda Ti Dolphin Tip
Now from what the condition of the items, it looks like the Manifold and Cat have no chance of being removed in 1 piece as the flanges and bolts have corroded pretty hardcore. The B pipe seems fine and it looks like it's reasonably recent (1-2 years tops?) however I can hear noises inside it when I give it a smack, which I believe amplify once they come out the back. The Toda thankfully seems to be in great working order, however due to this B pipe issue the car is louder than I thought it would be and even drones at 70mph (which it shouldn't with a Toda...). Not sure why the Toda b pipe has been removed, or where I can get another for reasonable money but yeah..
So anyway, the plan is to have a high flow but quiet exhaust system without spending thousands to achieve it. From what I could gather, the best way to go about this would be a full Toda system (4-2-1 toda mani, toda b pipe silenced and toda ti backbox) but since I only have the backbox, the mani and b pipe add up to almost £2k lmao.
So the next best thing is Reps? Toda rep would be Tegiwa as far as I know, so Tegiwa 4-2-1 is £480 give or take and for b pipe I could use M2 silenced? That one is only £185 and should pair up fine with the Toda backbox I have. Links below:

With the above, how loud will the car be? I've had decatted cars before and wasn't a huge fan, but mainly because they were straight through with no silencers. I wan't a fast daily with reasonable noise levels and that seems to be hard to achieve without spending thousands.
Any input will be highly appreciated!
PS: Sorry for the wall of text, work is rather quiet today lol
