The phase 1 classics used to have it hot side too, just after the turbo exit... i presumed that location was largely down to engine bay packaging and the tightness of space around the TMIC i.e they couldn't it it anywhere else

I'd guess Cosworth have a reason? Be interested to find out too.

Hi
I have a catback system been on my car for 2 months.
Its 2.5" so no need for a remap.
Straight through center pipe and still quad exit as PPP pipe but each set has its own silencer so its a much nicer noise and breathes easier.
Best sounding Subaru pipe Ive heard and if I still had my car would still be on it!!
Have a butchers on the Haywood and Scott site for some sound files.
It is pretty loud but in a good way ;-)
Offers please cost me £750 ish cant remember only a few months back so sensible offers please.
I have a part worn Dunlop tyre too if anyone needs one got loads of tread on it
Arron.

Nah, but I had done my homework before going as I work with another scoobynet member (arronb) and had already joined the site so had seen a few of your posts, receipts for short engine were still in the car as well.

I did try and get in touch before buying to see if there were any other things to look out for on the car, but I am not sure my PM's got through.

Have had a few problems with other year old cars (discovery 3 had a new turbo and egr valves at 10k and 2 month old fiesta had a completely new ecu) so other than arguing with a new importer.... imo you pays your money and takes your chances!!

I would have purchased from litchfields but missus did not want to spend the money adding the toys!!

However I don't think I did bad, missus had said no scooby, then said no saloon, saw the hatch and said when are we getting it, but I'm all !!

some **** of a motorbiker couldnt wait, squeezed between me and a HGV and dragged himself along the rear bumper and n/s, i sounded the horn as much as i could he just looked over and i'm sure the cheeky **** was smiling as he just drove off, i was stuck in traffic so couldnt do **** all about it


i could kill some1 at the moment the mood i'm in



on a lighter note, the wind deflector is the nuts, i drove home with the window down a little and no rain ever came in - fooking love it
