Hi,

Just got the P1 and I'm tempted to get the Prodrive BB in place of the STi. What's the noise increase like in cabin? I do a lot of motorway driving and found the ScoobySport BB on my MY99 a bit much after a year.

Thanks in advance.

Noise increase in the cabin is not much at all - a slightly deeper burble at idle/low revs/off boost but quite a bit louder at hier revs/on boost

There is also the Prodrive Whoosh(TM) at the top end from the BB which is nice...

From outside it's quite a bit louder though.

Unhappy

Petoir,

There seems to be a manufacturing / supply delay with these. I ordered one to come with the car but am still waiting five weeks after delivery.

Cheers

Thanks chaps,

What's the cost including fitting and filter?

I had one on the car for a couple of days and in the end decided it wasn't for me and went back to the standard box. I would definately recommend having a ride in a car with one fitted as there is a big difference in cabin noise. Great for a while but it got on my nerves after a while.
