It's definitely loud. Not too bad inside the cabin most of the time. But on WOT, with 6/7k gearchanges -- well, I grinned whilst driving for the first time since the initial 'honeymoon period' of Scoob ownership (3 years ago now )

I think it's quite loud inside, but I've got the centre section as well. Still it feels faster, but I suspect a lot of that is down to the noise.

What tail pipe did you guys go for?

I like the look of these systems, but the choice of tailpipes is delaying my purchase!

Anyone got pictures from various angles of the slash cut design?

Straight one, rather than the slashcut. Didn't see any slashcut ones kicking around while I was there.

Excellant product,had mine some 8 week's now with centre section as well.Straight cut design,this tail pipe protrude's perfect,not short like some resulting in rear panel discolourment.Not angled to one side either.Mine fitted spot on as well,as regard's noise the inside seemed loud to start with,but don't notice it any more.Outside is awesome,on tick over/full-boost but not anoying on journey's (when you've got your sensible head on)Look's the buisness as well,especially complimenting the STI/5 spoiler I've just fitted from DR.MOTORSPORT.

GO AND BUY NOW!!!!!

Hi Guys

Just a quick question for you all, we are thinking about supplying the Afterburner with a Titanium tip.

What do you think?

I would be interested in your feedback either public or private to wendy@scoobyworld.co.uk

Thanks!

CF tailpipe -- urgh!
Looks OK on a bike, but not on a car of this sort. Perhaps on a Caterham-style thing.

Ti tipped eh?

Does this polish as good with the old faithful Autosol though?
Or is this gonna be the heat finished effect like the Hiper Ti tip

Carbon Fibre 'backbox' might be ok, with a Ti tip slash cut.

Yup, that's me. I think it may be the only black Prodrive STi on the island at the moment, so no being naughty in front of the police

Patrick, outside Peel on way to Glen Maye.
Excellent Scooby roads!
