I bought it cause even the name sounded LOUD!

Pro's
- easy to fit
- looks superb
- great finish
- sounds well loud.


Cons' -
- Neighbours can moan unless you ignore them.
- Found myself dipping the clutch when passing the Police - mind you I've always done that
- er in doors knows when your arriving home from 1/2 mile away - the lover he gets a head start out the window LOL!!



Buy one mate - you wont be disappointed

Agree with the majority of the above and initially I was happy. Had it six months or so but got all the wrong attention, completely ended up doing my head in on any type of jouney and the police didn't take too kindly to it.

Felt boy recerish in the end and eventually opted for a Scoobysport. Phew what a relief when it went on. Still miss it occasionally but if you do any motorway driving take some Nurofen with you mate.

Totally agree!

Not an everyday drive for me so i dont mind the noise, did start to give me a complex in my old wrx with the firestorm on everyday, but not having it on the sti for a month did my head in more!

Thumbs up

Best thing ive bought for the scoob so far. Turns lots of heads and you can hear it from a good distance. Strong boxer sound on idle and rally car sounds when you give it some. Worth every penny just can't wait to de-cat ive just got the back box!!
