Hello,
I have an MY00 wagon with Scoobysport backbox and am considering replacing the rather restrictive downpipe ...
Will I really notice the difference in day-to-day driving or just with a good thrash?
Also more importantly, I love the Scooby burble. The Scoobysport backbox although loud-ish when pressing on is quite subtle when off throttle and just pootling around .. I would like the downpipe to increase performance will not increasing noise significantly.
Will fitting a downpipe be that noticeable sound wise?
Is there a downpipe (Scooby-sport, Scoobymania etc) that will not noticeably increase noise?
Thanks,
Doofus.

It does increase the noise on full throttle but at low speed with the windows up you would be hard pressed to tell the difference except for the lurvely turbo whistle. And by the way I have a PE Twin Dump and it has transformed the perfomance of my MY00
yes you would notice it on day to day driving.

The biggest difference is the way the car drives, I've got the Scoobysport one and the change was great, the car now doesn't mind the revs dropping to say 1400 in top, you can then ease on the gas and it just goes smoothly all the way to the end, it seems to takeaway some of the kick in the back that you get before, but it's definately better, DO IT, you will not look back!
