Hi,

Can somone rate the following BB's according to note and loudness?
Prodrive WRS BB
Magnex 6x4 BB
Scooby Sport BB

I'm trying do decide between the 3! I want the best sounding but I also need to know how loud they are.

I've been told that the SS has the best sound?

Thanks,

Brian

Get yourself in on the Blitz Nurspec groupbuy if you want the sound. This baby appears to be the loudest and still retains that flat 4 warble. There is a soundbite at:

I love the sound of my scoobysport one, its nice on tickover, excellent on full throttle and liveable at cruising speeds. Go to Scoobysports website and go to the exhaust section, there is a sound image that you can hear.

PS This is so realistic i have it on my computer at work when it boots up and a shorter version for when emails arrive (sad i know), for the 1st 2 weeks i kept thinking someone was nicking my car.LOL

Pesonally i think the Magnex BB 6x4 has the boy racer image, dont why. Whereas the scoobysport and the Prodrive one look in keeping with car. the HKS and BLITZ ones look cool, but a bit too loud for me, and the village i live in.

I prefer to go for the surprise effect taht the scoobysport one gives IMHO.

One things for sure , you start wanting soft then progressively want it louder . I love to feel the beat when driving , you need it fairly load for that . As long as the balance between motor and exhaust remains . I've had cheers from strangers as I bomb along the highway back firing flames on gear changes . Most exhausts dont sound too load inside when driving so I think you pretty safe - even without cats and 3" .

Enjoy

ok now everyone must be thinking whazup with that ITR guy he doesnt even own a Impreza.
but my opinion is that the Scoobysport
fits the Impreza best the sound is just rigth,but the blitz is ok but i want more Rally kind of sound so i would choose the Scoobysport

Soon 2 be a Scooby owner

Hi

I have the Scoobysport exhaust and I Love it. it makes the sweetest sound when the car is stand still and when I go full throttle it really screams and when I want to cruise and talk to my girlfriend or listen to the radio I just put the car into 5th gear

Best Regards,

Steven

Thanks for the advice,

It sounds like most people think the SS is the best sounding BB!

How much louder would the systems be w/o any cats or resonator?

Thanks,

Brian
