I am about to fit a scoobsysport downpipe to my P1, Is this the best modified downpipe available?

Is it worth having the scoobysport exhaust back box fitted at the same time? I am considering the Blitz boz and also the Blitz induction kit- what's the best match?

P1's rule by the way!

If you have the SS down pipe you must get the SS back box too.I made the mistake of SS back box then SS down pipe a year later..ohhh! what did I missed out on.

Better sound but not a neighbour annoyer and better pull on boost.

Although I didn't go for the SS mid section and had the Magnex straight through pipe fitted saturday..now that makes some difference I can tell you, put that on your shopping list.I have the suppliers name if interested.

Also off topic did you get the boost guage from Le Jacobs in the end as I was second bid??

Great...

That's exactly what I want to do when my P1 get's here (after a 2.5K run-in).

Keep posting on how it goes. Have you asked you dealer on what it does to the warranty. Mine was OK on UK cars but I have not asked for my P1.

I'm told that the Scooby sport back box is okay and your warranty remains in place,some Subaru dealers recommend the back box and get it sent from scooby sport to be fitted.But changing down pipe and midsection will certainly make the warranty invalid.

I have A STI V5 so no worries.

SS back box? Nah! Get the Blitz NUR Spec - best thing i ever did for my STI before it blew up that is
If you buy the 'full system' (as they call it - mid & back) you can get the removable silencer version which makes a wonderful sound!

Go on - you know you want to.

Some info guys ?

I have an MY00 and have stuck on a PPP giving me an extra 10% bhp and 20% torque.

What gains can I expect from new dowpipe, mid-section and backbox ? In fact, what more can I do to get the bhp & torque up ?

I ask, as I love the sound from my ProDrive exhaust and am reluctant to take it off.

Daz, SS Backbox, DP and centre will make a lot of difference.

I had these put on (one by one, in isolation) onto my MY99 PPP Scoob and each one makes a contribution

Email me if you want more info/discuss.
