I would like to know if it's not too loud?

Did have a std STi backbox fitted to my STi V, they are pretty quiet really, just a bit louder than the twin pipe backbox fitted to classic uk cars

Thanks for the reply, and would somebody know how the STI backbox compares to a HKS Super Drager?
Just wanted to know as I'm about to swap my Nur Spec R against a Super Drager with another Scoobynetter and was just wondering.....

Would somebody even have a sound file of the Super Drager in action?

It's basically the same as the pea-shooter but with a single pipe exit. Sound is very slightly more bassy than the OE one...but not much! And it's just as bloody restrictive...

I have an old rusty one sitting in my garage from when my car was a daily drive (and wifey-poos had to travel in it!). Wanna' make me an offer on it (are you ever near CH - you can try first if you like)?
