Just got my car back from the garage after having a scorpion cat back put on and I can't hear any difference, will it take a while to settle in or am I gonna have to take silencers off.

The Scorpion Cat-back is similar to the the OEM exhaust.

The piping diameter is same as stock, 2.5'' piping, the muffler is similar to the stock design and very baffled, and was designed for as an optional accessory to the PZ cars. That's probably the reason why it sounds quiet.

So basically I should buy a resonated mid-pipe for it that should make it louder it sounds boring but looks good.

You can get a midpipe if you don't mide the CEL.

No it shouldn't do as long as you get free flowing one if not it probably will.

Sorry that its not the sound you wanted. The best sounding exhausts are B&B,Greddy, Borla, and the Magnaflow that I have on, sometimes sounds like a muscle car. Best thing now is to buy a midpipe with an O2 Sensor.

No silencers just muzzle out the sound, it shouldn't restrict any performance. GL
