Renault Mégane 3 RS 250 GT Performance silencieux tube inox

As I found the stock sound rather lacking on my 2012 Renault Mégane 3 RS 250, I got a "silencieux tube inox" made by GT Performance on Ebay. It's a stainless steel tube that fits as a 1:1 replacement for the rear muffle or backbox. The French call this mod a "silencieux tube", but it's also known as a "rear muffler delete" or "back box chop". Only mods to the car are a ITG panel filter and a Stage 1 remap by Fastchip.
I did some research by watching other videos, but it's always hard to capture real life sounds digitally, but I gave it my best shot. For your convenience I used different devices as well, just to spread the options: iPhone, Panasonic GH4 with RØDE NTG-2 and GoPro 4 with the open housing and a wind jammer.
From what I've read, a mid box delete will sound similar while revving stationary, but gives less sound inside the car. My impressions so far: not exactly the best sounding four cilinder engine ever, but at least you can now (just) hear it idle. :) Someone described the Mégane's engine sound as "gruff", I guess that sounds about right. Sounds a lot sportier now, like you'd expect a car like this to be from the factory. Noise levels are very acceptable to me, but that's very personal. No drone at motorway speeds as well, just a little 'boomy' when coming of the throttle around 3000rpm.

Stock is inderdaad veel beter, goed gedaan!

Dag Martijn, heb je het verschil in gewicht ooit gemeten? Dat is nu juist wat voor mij het interessante zou zijn. Thanks!

[@MartijnGizmo]

V. Carijn nee, geen idee :)

[@jordanclarke9825]

Does this car still have the mid box/silencer?

[@joblorinc1670]

Hi Martijn! Zojuist een Megane RS aangeschaft. Wat kost zo’n aanpassing ongeveer? Toffe video!

[@MartijnGizmo]

Buis was destijds €235, monteren een uurtje werk bij je favoriete garage naar keuze. :)

Hey Martijn. Zelf ook in het bezit van een megane rs 250 cup 2011. Heb jij de middendemper laten zitten toendertijd? Zit er ook aan te denken om voor zo'n gt performance tube silencieux te gaan maar heb de middendemper ook nog liggen voor het geval dat het te wordt. Gr Daniel
