P1 comes soon. Do I need the Prodrive backbox to beef things up a bit, when I tested the car it had one fitted so I didnt get a chance to hear the STI one.
Did have a Hiper muffler on my present car but a bit too MAX POWER for me now, so If anyone wants it it`s yous for £125.

 

I was thinking the same myself...what improvement does it give, if any....and ARRON, how much is it??

Cheers

You gotta get either a scoobysport or prodrive b/b - if only for the sound. My 22B has the STI b/b and it is the most pathetic sounding creature you've ever heard - everyone at powerstation will back me up on this!
As it's a UK car I'm having the dealer check with IM that the prodrive backbox is suitable and warranty won't be affected. However most dealers will fit a scoobysport and still honour any warranty claim. I'm just nervous, and doing it by the book, as the cars so rare.
Cheers,
Chuck

ARRON,
is the hiper muffler full sys to the downpipe or just backbox,is it stainless steel and how loud is it ,how big is the tailpipe,
thanks paul

 

Having heard a P1 with standard exhaust - you definitly need a new back box! My wifes freelander sounds more appealing!

 

Get a magnex 6x4 oval it looks and sounds the business mate. the best £200 quid i spent

Mines got a SS. Bit louder than the Prodrive unit. Both are much better than the std STI crap.

Got to agree mate, i`ve had the slowdrive box on, also a Blitz and now i`ve just put on the Magnex 6x4, all i can say is WOW!!! I love it. Louder than the prodrive, not as loud as the Blitz, looks the absolute Mutleys Nutleys!!!!

Paul, 5" I think and its a backbox,full stainless.Its not too loud just wont go with me P1

 

Hmm, interested in this thread. The sound of the P1 could be better. Is the performance affected; is the warranty affected, etc. etc.

Phil.

 

thanks ARRON,
you guys with the magnex systems are they too noisey in the back for small children or would you say there fine.
cheers paul

 

I Have got 4.5 round Magnex on our scoob and it sounds the dogs B*****s don't waste your
money on a prodrive box!

Phil,

I'm having the Pro Drive Back Box fitted on Monday, along with Barrier Lock.

Re warranty, I have been told that it doesn't affect it.

Re performance - not sure?

Will have to wait and see and I will no doubt be speaking to you sometime next week - happy motoring!

Tom

 

ARRON,

thanks paul

 

phone up to 11.30pm
cheers

 

Birdy,

The Prodrive backbox is a bit variable on volume, mine as fitted was quiet but with horrible vibration. Had it replaced as defective, new one louder but no *rattle*

Not as deep as SS but harder noise on full throttle. (Is there any other way ?)

Hope it helps

John

 

Arron,
Considering the insurance probs you better make sure you get a quote with backbox - some insurers will hit you very hard for the modification - they will always consider it performance related.
