Grp N with just a centre and rear is perfect IMHO. Not too loud, but sounds v. torquey under WOT. My other scooby owning friends also think it sounds fantastic, and I take the 'tunnel' route home every night

Firestorm is too loud for me.

Sorry to hijack but how did you find the quality as I have just ordered a scoobysport BB which looks fantastic which will be fitted to my other halfs 03 WRX. But I have not made up my mind as to what to fit to my STi 8, TSL Group N or another Scoobysport.

Except of course he wants a BB that leaves his hearing intact. Which sort of gets rid of both of those suggestions. Not the Drager, which is a made better than the Hiper & Blitz (being 'top of the range'), offers pretty good flow, but no headache.

Alternatively, there's the ScoobySport, TSL, Magnex, Hayward & Scott et al. which are all excellent quality, although maybe the finish isn't as 'polished' that means nothing about the actual quality.

Now, IMHO ,
TSL 'group N' is a very nice backbox. Doesn't drone, sounds great under power - has the slight 'splattery' sound that the rally cars do rather than the drone that the, ahem, 'desirable' road cars do. Won't get any complaints from anyone noise-level wise, but is a great noise-toy too

You won't be dissapointed. the only difference in quality is the welds, but lets face it you cant see them anyway!!!

In terms of sounds and looks, I cant reccommend the 4" grp n highly enough.
