I have a MY96 UK Turbo with the old Scooby Sports (H&S) back box.
I think it is a perfect balance(for me), nice burble in traffic but you can hardly hear it inside so great for Mums and motorways, but if you do want to hear it then down comes the window.
Cheers.
Ian.

Even though people say the Firestorm is loud, i wouldn't say it was as bad as is made out.

I fitted mine lastweek, it is loud compared to a Magnex, but when compared to some HKS or Blitz...it's kinda normal.

In saying that, i've still got both cats and standard centre on mine.

I've got a full Scooby Sport on My STI RA, it is hard work on the motorways especially with the RA short gearing 17mph/1000rpm in 5th!!

I've also got a noise meter, at 4500 it reads about 99db's at 7000 it reads 105db's!!

I have a Scoobysport back box on my WRX MY01 and is´nt any loud. In fact you must open de window for hear it. Changes sound note (more deep) but not increases sound substantial inside car. That´s just was expecting because in long travels excess of noise becomes a torture. If you want something more "hard" maybe this is not your better choice

If you want something loud. Get a buddyclub system. Lightest exhaust in the market and i reckon is the best sounding one for a scoob.

Brings out the true flat 4 sound.

Thumbs up

TSL Grp N back box on my97 STi3 - sounds louder than standard - naturally, but deeper, very nice indeed and very easy to live with. My experience in customer service from various 'scooby suppliers' indicates TSL are the top dudes.

best bet would be to go to a local meet and listen to a few - I'm sure all the owners out there would be happy to demonstrate the scooby song in a spot of carpark kareoke.....

Question

I run a FULL scoobysport system on an sti V5, and am thinkin bout swapping the backbox cos i'd like it a bit meatier sounding (if that is possible as the Scoobysport one sounds lovely when @ high rpms but is a bit quiet on tick over).

Seem to me that the jap stuff is gonna be the loudest....>
