My dad has just had a P1 exhaust fitted to his turbo, but it doesn't sound as loud as i thought it would.
It is a 3" STI exhaust which makes it sound a bit deeper, but I thought it would make it sound like a WRX (with that lovely glugging sound)
Any ideas?

Its the standard exhaust off an STi thats fitted to the P1 if you look at the back of the tailpipe where it joins the backbox itself you will see it reduces in size, exhausts like Prodrive/Scoobysport/scoobymania/PE etc dont do this ! are less restrictive and make a "bit" more noise !

Damn right. After hearing the Prodrive back box, and a full ScoobySport system, I had to change the backbox on my P1 - the STI exhaust is way too quiet. I plumped for the ScoobySport job, 'cos I think it sounds gorgeous - although the "Jet Fighter on take off" sound of the Prodrive effort does sound rather cool

A magnex backbox will make a difference in sound because it is a wider bore all the way through. Couple that with a catless downpipe and a straight through centre pipe and you'll get all the noise you need
