My brand spanking new afterburner vortex turned up today so I whipped it straight down the local garage to get it fitted....Simple??[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] No chance. The kink in the pipe from the rear silencer matched up no where near to the centre section, in fact when positioned correctly the flange on the back box was way off to the left hand side of the car!!! Have I been sent something completely different or has anyone else had any problems? I have a UK MY99. I'm currently in the process of contacting scooby world for help.

Had my Vortex fitted on Monday in about 10 minutes - no problems at all. I've got a classic WRX Wagon.

Sounds as though you may have got the wrong back box.

As discussed with Wendy, the Afterburner Vortex uses an angled exit (for maximum gas-flow), so when your exhaust fitter held it up underneith the car with a straight exit at the rear, the centre section would have been way off the mark.

Let us know how you get on when you return to the fitters again.

Just got back from Scooby Clinic where the professionals have yet again sorted my problem out.....NeilT, As yourself and Wendy kindly pionted out the back box is an angled exit, which the local " Experts " did not work out ( Or me, but I'm a bit thick ). Called Kev at Scoobyclinic and had a trip out to get it all sorted. The back box and new centre section are now all fitted and I enjoyed the beautifull burble all the way home Thanks again to Scooby world for all your help and Scoobyclinic for building my dreams!!LOL

Steve.

At least it's on now and it does sound nice, doesn't it.

Yeah the sound is awesome although I couldn't really open her up as I took my mum along for the ride and she doesn't like the idea of me going through the revs quickly to hear it growl!!. So, I'm back at work tomorrow so I'll be able to really hear it. Don't quite know how I'm going to hide it from the girlfriend though! I'll let her go and buy some new shoes and ANOTHER hand bag " To match " Mind you I am taking her away next month for valentines. So I'd call that even!LOL
