I know this has been done to death, but I can't find the info I need on a search, so am hoping some of you dudes who change your exhausts almost as ofter as your socks can help. :wink:

I have just bought a MY00 wagon which I want to get some more poke out of. I am planning on a STI panel filter, full decat and TEK 3.

This is my third scoob, my last one was a PPP'd MY99, I really liked the prodrive exhaust and don't really want anything louder than this. I had a scoobysport back box on my last car before PPP and that was to loud for me.

What I would like to know is if it's possible to have a full decat that's not any louder than the PPP on a MY99/00.
I Have seen on other threads that the magnex is supposed to be quite quiet, also H&S can make you an exhaust to your spec.

I have emailed H&S for a price on this type of exhaust, but haven't had a reply yet, but I'm guessing it's going to be quite a bit more expensive than the magnex from the scoobyshop at £400. has anyone seen/heard both, if so is the H&S worth the extra splash.

Any advice or comments would be great

Cheers

I have a wagon with a H+S D/P and Magnex resonated centre and B/B, it is really fairly quiet, my car is a family car so needs to be pretty stealthy, still sounds good when ragging it tho'
I really rate the Magnex quality, fit is superb and I would say at least equal quality of anything out there of comparable cost that I have seen (H+S included).

I have exactly the same exhaust as Glen above on my MY00 and it measured 89db at 4500 RPM. Pretty quiet in the cabin.

Cheers for the replys

What's resonated centre?

Believe from what I read on here that wagons are regarded as being generally more likely to transmit whatever noise they produce into the cabin. If it's any help, my MY00 ( saloon ), has the mods you are considering, with the exception that the centre cat remains. I used the Janspeed/Scoobysport uppipe/downpipe, which are lagged and an sti b/box...I also ported the standard exhaust manifold, also said to quieten the noise. I would say that mine, if anything, is quieter than standard...certainly no noisier.....be surprised if a well lagged centre cat replacement pipe would alter this significantly. Hope this helps.

It's a silencer box in the centre pipe, still straight thro' but with a perforated core and silencer packing wrapped round it, costs about £110 i think, but worth it to take the edge off the sound

Cheers glen4 never knew there were 2 different types, I will have to get a system priced with that then.

Hi Ian

I emailed H&S yesterday at midday, I don't have a copy of the email as I used my hotmail account. I will send you another one if you like.
