Get a ScoobySport or a Prodrive box. Nice sound but not that loud in just backbox form, compared to the HKS box anyway!

Get in touch with Jamie @ J W Racing.

Sounds like you need a magnex- makes all the right noises, just not too much of them though.

yes it will fit. there should be several in 'for sale' as many get them fitted with the PPP but they're a little too quiet for many people.

I would recommend Magnex slash cut. Not loud in the car at all, but sounds great outside.

Sorry to butt in, but it just so happens that I've a Prodrive WRSport backbox for sale. No longer needed as I bought the performance pack.

Email me if you like.

Regards

Shaun

Try your local scooby dealer and see if he will sell you a STI 8 b/box, they will surely have a couple off peoples cars who have had the PPP fitted.

I had a full scoobysport de-cat system which sounded fantastic but the neighbours weren't impressed when I came back late at night so i have fitted an STI 8 b/box which I got for nothing and is now quieter and no change in performance which i though there would have been.

Folks,

Just remember that this is NOT the backbox from the STI7. It lying up in the dealers gathering dust.

The backbox i'm selling is the Prodrive WRSport option - £350 quid new from Subaru.

I'd nearly give you the STI7 backbox if you want it, but have a look at what Pete Croney from Scoobysport said about it regarding gasflow etc.
Plus, you'd need a hearing aid to actually hear the standard STI one in the first place.

The WRSport option is much nicer, with a lovely burble, not too loud, but just right - for me anyway. Some people say to quiet, but I like to talk to passengers in the car, not shout at them!

Regards

Shaun

Shaun, agree totally m8, I got the WRsport BB for my sti8 'ouch price' and it has a really nice burble off it, not too loud so as to wake the neighbours but enough that you can hear it coming with the traditional scooby sound, sitting on the M'way at 80mph isn't to intrusive either.
