hi im after a list of different make/style backboxes so i can do a bit of research,im after a specific sound from my scoob,preferably 2.5 inch, so it mates to my centre decat,nothing really quiet,but nothing near as loud as a blitz nur spec,somewhere in between!im looking for a deep aggressive growl that aint crazy loud.what have u guys got on yours?any help would be much appriciated.

 

There are a good range of exhaust to choose from if the blitz is to loud ,you can go for the Hks or anything by haywood & scott.Might well be worth listening to a few on you tube to get an idea or turning up at 1 of your local meets and seeing what people have fitted. I opted for afterburner vortex -loud & subtle when required.

 

sorry to hijack greenwagon but what is the diameter standard on a wrx piping. 2.5 or 3 inch? id go for h an s. sound the best by far

 

2.5" mate,which h&s do u mean as i had the original scooby h&s one before,it was a bit quiet.do u mean the jap type one?

 

yeah,youtube is the way but i just cant think of any makes lol

 

i dont know mate i just thought they made them all same but if 1 was quiet u had i opt an try the other 1. i hear them on youtube. think sounds lovely. i got 3 inch centre pipe an want this exhaust but a 2.5 i reckon. u think i could drill holes bigger to tighten it together?

is the genome comming off mate

 

i have a scoobysport backbox and that sounds really nice not too loud.

 

I am currently looking for a cat back system, my research has been done mainly on you tube. Just type in the name of the back box you are interested in and there are loads of clips. You might want to consider a custom job. I am currently getting quotes of up to £100 cheaper than pre made cat back systems, try Stainless Steel Exhausts, Custom Built Bespoke T304 Performance Exhaust Systems :: UK or Exhausts UK Custom Stainless Steel Exhausts.

Lots of people like the afterburner vortex.

probably not,i love the genome,at this moment in time i am so skint and just weighing up my options as if the genome were to come off,i maybe able to find a cheaper alternative,i just cant find the exact tone im after yet there seems to be so many scoobs that sound exactly how i want mine to sound,cant understand it at all.i expect i will keep the genome as i will probably regret getting rid sooooo much.it always seems that other scoobs sound nicer but its probably just me being daft.hows the vortex?is it loud?

 

racebox....miles too quiet
ninja 1+2 sound nice
vortex....sounds nice but does seem loud....not sure the video clip does it any justice.
there must be loads of other makes out there?

 

have to say...that does sound rather nice,but still not the exact tone im after.i will find it tho

 

the vortex sounds great, not as loud as people say it is imo, i dont find it droney at all on the motorway, its a nice rumble.

i did do a vid of it but its far too big to upload for some reason... its only 40secs long but its 105mb in size. photobucket have a limit of 10mb haha

what about this vortex extreme

Hi,
I did a similar thread on here last week .
I have the Racebox ( which is a 3.5" ) with a Straight Through Centre.. IMO still not quite the scooby noise I liked and a little too quiet.. I too found the Ninja2 and Afterburner too loud for annoying the neighbours..dont get me wrong they sound great but a bit too attention-drawing ..so just ordered the TSL Group N Backbox .. 4" with a good deep tone and imo a good inbetween the Ninja and the Racebox and Prodrive style and sound
Here:

Cant wait to get it on.

my old TSL Group N

 

sorry but i really dont like that.

 

now that i like,what exactly is your exhaust whilst u had this on?

 

the vortex extreme isnt mine, just so you know haha

the TSL was fitted with stock downpipe, 2nd decat pipe and deresonated centre section

 

what is a deresonated centre section? did u have any other mods at the time that would make it sound that good?

 

no other mods no... on a standard set up the car my car has a centre section with a resonator box in it ( sound deadener) i replaced it with a deresonated pipe which increased the noise slightly

 

so basically a the same as a centre decat(on mine)?,did u still have the original cat downpipe in place?

 

my car has 2 cats from the turbo back i removed one and fitted the de-res section, yeah i had the origional catted downpipe on still

it went stock downpipe-- decatted pipe--deresonated centre-- backbox
