It's just too much. I've even installed a full noisekiller kit. I've read a few things about bungs for other exhausts but not for the scoobyworld. If there nothing I can do does anyone want to swap for a Prodrive backbox or something of similar volume. My afterburners only been on the car for 500 miles.

Cheers and WHU?

What's the rest of your exhaust system made up of? Is it standard or de-catted?

Question

www.haywardandscott.co.uk
Why don't you ring them and arrange to send it back, they will mod it for you... extra baffles will sort it out, or you can ring scoobyworld and arrange to do it through them.
Running a stealth myself... i had that made quiter in the begining because i thought the afterburner standard would be to loud for my needs also...... hense the stealth was born.

Gents,

It's on a MY99 Turbo with the rest of the system being standard. I'll send Scoobyworld an Email with regards to modding it and price of. If I've not heard nowt in a few days I'll put it back up here for sale/swop.

Cheers.

It quiets down a bit after a while (I think once the inside gets coated with soot and stuff). Either that or I've got used to it
