Guys..

I've got a Scoobysport Backbox and Downpipe (on a MY99)..

I still have the standard Scoob Center section... What should I replace it with (de-cat bits only) ?

cheers!

Simon.

scoobysport?

 

Simon,

I'd just get the SS one to match the rest of your system. Can't see any benefits from going for any other manufacturer (other than cost).

At least with everything from SS, it would be a more balanced system.

It's a bent piece of tube.
One made from stainless, easily available & cheap would be my choice There does seem to be a world-wide shortage of these things at the moment for some reason so that may make a difference...

 

Resonated or non resonated?

Millions of topics on this, do a search!

yeah i've heard about the Magnex ones (resonated) but do they make any difference than a standard bit of tube???

 

AFAIK, the centre doesn't generate any additional noise on it's own. What it would do is affect the noise you get out of the backbox.

When I changed my std centre to a PPP (it has a resonator) there wasn't any noticeable noise increase. When I change the std backbox to an STI one that's when the noise changed.

After fitting a TSL one, it has changed the noise of the STI backbox again to a much deeper burble.

When I re-fitted the std centre, the backbox did quieten down a little, but not much.

So, if you want to get the full benefit from the SS system, go with a straight-through centre. If you want to tone the SS backbox down slightly, you'll want the resonator one IMHO.

bugger it - i'll get a full SS system (that burble on the SS website is good )

 

You know it makes sense

Stefan

 

u bugger's

 

wots the difference between the 106quid SS one and the 50quid(ish) scoobymania one????

 

about 56 quid m8

Seriously though, the Scoobymania one looks like a 3" straight-through system, but I'd have expected that to be more expensive.

uhm, thats what i was thinking?????

am i missing something here? is the scoobymania one any good? made from Stainless Steel? as all the others are around the 90+vat mark...??????

confused....

 

ok so on the scoobymania website it just say's it's interconnecting exhaust is roughly £50

on the scoobynet website it says:
so i assume the scoobymania centre doesn't have this fexible joint???

and hence the £50 difference in price??

otherwise - if its just a 3" piece of tube I can get one made up in Engineering on a prototyper...

 

ok from the lack of responses i assume there is no difference between the 2 pipes except 50pounds...

 

Sorry, can't see any difference either. Might be worth phoning Scoobymania though to double-check.

The SS and TSL ones are around the £100 mark, but Scoobymania and Magnex (non-resonator thingy) are between £50ish and £60.

Stefan

 

time to start phoning...

50quid is a far price hike for a piece of pipe...
