All the after market exhausts sound better!!!

Scoobysport is the most popular, but there are loads.
Have a look for Magnex, TSL do several tail types or Scooby Mania.
Prodrive is an option if your worried about a warrenty.
I'd go for the Scooby Mania one if I was buying new again. Looks so much better quality than the rest. IMHO!

Or, go the whole way and fit HKS 3" nutter 8ollox system

Cheers guys, intelligent advice is always welcome...thanks.

Moles Dad

Spose thats sarcasm

In fitting a 3" (complete) system you could save a mint in the so called progression from medium performance systems through the 'for sale' and 'swap' stages of ownership and finally having the system you 'want'.

Any better ?

it wasnt directed at you chap, it was aimed at `DOH`...but i then realised the guy giving me the other advise was the same guy....no harm meant chaps. i just want to make the most out of owning such a pleasurable motor. I`m in awe of it`s potential. Thanx again chaps.

Moles Dad

Welcome and be prepared for sarcasm as well as a highly pleasurable performance car

Enjoy

Scoobysport for the flat four and back-fire noise

Moles Dad

Oh, and I have a Scoobysport system

Hong Kong Phooey

As Dyney suggested, Scoobymania. Fabulous deep burble - it turns heads

Points you might want to think about...

1. Do you want it real loud? ie lots of motorway miles will drive you mad if you get the real loud ones (Blitz, firestorm etc)

2. More power, if you want that think of the mandrel bent systems, and replacing the centre pipes, possibly the downpipe as well.

3. If you want something loud under the throttle but can live with in the background then consider the groupn pipe from TSL.

I got the centre pipes cat back and a groupn box from TSL and under throttle it really roars, I went through some tunnels with a porsche giving it some (private road of course) and it was just brilliant couldn't even hear the porsche!!!
But on the motorway at legal (and a leetle bit more)speeds you hear a slight drone in the background that really doesn't bother you. Of course remember price, there are some titanium systems out there for import that cost £600, or you can blitz for about £355c, or you can do what I did for the whole system which cost £440 all in.

so much information that i now need a stick to wave at it!...lol...thanx guys, very much appreciated. i`ll let you know which i decide on.

Something i didnt mention was the fact that mine is a Sport not turbo, i have contacted Scoobysport and they are about to do a backbox and middle section for this model. Will i gain more advantage by installing middle aswell? while i`m doing that shouldnt i go all the way and replace downpipes and have done?

Moles Dad

Yes and Yes

will19702001

thanx moles dad...the downpipes will have to wait as i`ve just purchased sum Superlegs from OZ...out of interest, what kind of increase will i get from the exhaust upgrade?
