Wink Exhaust advice

I'm all questions today...I have a HKS cat back Hyper muffler at present, I like the sound it makes but it is too boomy for motorways and is too big for my tastes. I want to keep the centre section and replace the silencer; I'd like a nice warbly thing but I want to be able to do 70\80mph without being driven mad and I don't want to lose any power gains already made...any suggestions anybody?

Hayward & Scott 3.5" rolled in. Reasonably priced, ex stock, beautifully made, gorgeous sound. I do quite a few motorway miles myself...

No idea I'm afraid. Got mine as part of a Group Buy last year, along with an open neck down pipe. And I can't remember how much they were... great bloody memory...

Hi,

You will have to be carefull that the backbox you choose will mate correctly to the HKS centre, a lot of them have flanges in different places etc. Is there not a bung available for your HKS to make things a bit quieter?

George,

There is no bung (and it looks alittle too Chav for me!), any idea if the Scoobysport boxes fit on HKS centre section?

Cheers,
Ian
