All

can anyone recommend a catless exhaust setup that'll allow me to do track days?

I have a Scorpion downpipe, magnex centre(resonator) and backbox. This setup pushes out over 100dbs

Main problem is that if I go to a track like the Nurburgring, they'll send me away if I get tested.

Thanks

Surely the Backbox would be the one you could quieten whilst losing the least power by doing so? Apparently Remus backboxes are quiet, as are Prodrive ones.

My setup with Magnex DP, STi decat centre and Prodrive BB is quieter than a std UK car with just a SS BB.

Hiya

I am considering the Scorpion downpipe and would like to hear your opinions etc.

eg performance increase, noise (I like), quality

I have a Scorpion mid and Scoobysport BB. I am meeting someone tonight to hear his Magnex DP. ha he's suggested this may be better quality. Do you know if the Scoobysport or Magnex would release more power?

Thanks Rikki

I agree with John here & can vouch for SS DP/mid & Remus BB being quieter than OE DP/mid with SS BB. Shouldn't cause any problems that I can imagine, unless they test your DB going up a steep hill at 7000rpm with 5 people in the car. That's a little noisier
