Question Which backbox is right for me??

Two quick questions for everyone.

This is probably asking a little much, but I thought I would ask for a few suggestions.
My Partner is a bit of a Mustang lover. One thing in particularly, she really likes the sound of the engine.
Now I don't want my car to be just loud for the sake of it. But I was wondering if there was a backbox out there that complemented the sound of the flat four nicely.... so that at idle or cruising the car has a rich, deep burble, but not too loud. Any suggestions? I would love to drop a GT500 7051 cc V8 into the car, but I'm sure Tescos motor insurance would have something to say about that

Second question: I have a 03WRX and don't want any warranty problems. Surely changing the backbox will not completely invalidate my warranty, and only the backbox will no longer be covered. Correct?

Dude,


I've fitted a Scoobyworld Ninja to mine and it sounds nice but at the same time not too loud.

If you want to see what it looks like fitted to a scoob check out the link... they are in there somewhere.

Hope this helps

If you are worried about warranty, fit a prodrive b/b.

...for all the purposes you have stated i can't recommend a TSL GrpN twin-pipe backbox enough. I had similar requirements when i was in the market for a BB - great burbly sound at idle and when driving, but nothing too raucous, too tinny, or simply too loud just for the sake of it.

The GrpN twin-pipe (64mm pipes) does all this while still retaining a fairly OE look - I would be willing to place money that most chompies at the dealerships wouldn't even think it was non-standard .....

just IMHO
