PPE Catted Sound?

Those of you with PPE Catted and Corsa; notice a CRAZY rasp when getting on it? I can't tell if it was reality or because my rear seats were down (old DP's were in box). I've noticed exhaust is exceptionally loud with rear seats folded down.

HAHA; I was transporting the old DP's back to house. It's up now. :D

Is the resonator still in place, or is it gone?  I think that was a key component to subordinating the rasp?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Not trying to hijack the thread, but how do you get the seats down? I can't figure it out.

You need a pry bar; some KY jelly; rubber gloves; and one chicken (preferably alive).

Look under the seat belt; there should be a black pull cord on each side by the C-pillar.

Lol thanks. I will be purchasing the PPE catted DP's and Corsa soon. I will update with my impressions of the sound. With the back seat up and down.
