ScoobyMania downpipe,

Full scoobysport system fitted 9months ago on Sti6. No problems whatsoever. Noticeable difference - picks up quicker. Agree with Nezz10 "Beautiful sound". ;-)

Had a full SS but it was too quiet So I now run with a BPM 3" centre and twister BB It has a bung to keep it sensible (still louder than full SS) but if you take it out you can almost see the sound wave as you drive along

Only bad point is if I want to go out early and forget to fit the bung I wake up the whole street.

Magnex bb and centre with no resonator, just ordered magnex dp and cant wait. The difference was smart even with leaving the main cat (dp) in place so cant wait for the full lot. MY 99 by the way.

Full scoobysport system, coupled with a K&N 57i induction and a Forge TVA valve, sounds sweet, not forgetting the Tek2

No probs whatsoever.

Question

I'd love to get the SS DP to complement my SS mid and SS backbox.
However, I'm concerned about the MOT/warranty problems.....having to replace mid section cat for MOT etc
What do people generally do come MOT time....and/or deal with warranty issues ?
