AFAIK it's just the WRSport back box from Prodrive, but with a "P1" embossed on the visible bit of the pipe...

I wasn't that impressed by the noise it made when I test drove a P1 with it on - but it sounds much better from outside, if RB170's back box is anything to go by on his RB5

There was a post recently where Mike Wood from Prodrive listed all the different Prodrive backboxes and the differences therein. If I remember correctly, the P1 WR backbox looks just like the PPP BB but with P1 stamped on it instead of Prodrive and has different internals to the PPP BB.

I think he also said that due to this, on a standard UK Turbo, the P1 BB would sound louder than the PPP/WRSport BB's.

If you do a search over the last couple of months you should find it....

Mike,

where could I buy a Scorpion backbox and does it really sound the same as the Prodrive backboxes? I don't want it louder...
