Newage - prodrive to standard exhaust
Sadly I'm going to change my prodrive backbox on the blobeye prodrive wagon to a standard one. The drone on the motorway just doesn't work for me. I like the cars to be quiet.
Am I right in thinking it's just a straight forward backbox swap over? Is centre section on a prodrive exhaust the same as the standard pea-shooter one?
Many thanks.

Hi
Yes it's a straight forward swap. Best buy a new gasket/bolts from scoobyworld etc. Not sure why it's droning on motorways? Do you still have a resonator box in place? It's the pipe the back box fits on to. Also your car has a ppp ecu on it, therefore it's mapped to suit this larger exhaust.

Thanks Phil.
Resonator box is still there - just sounds droning to my ears. I used to have a 310 bhp modified wagon that had a standard pea-shooter exhaust!

I have an OEM STi back box which is very quiet sat in the attic if you're interested, a lot less restrictive than the pea-shooter.

Scotsman, I know where you're coming from regarding the drone. I think it's something to do with the wagon cabin shape and standing waves or something - my bug wagon was terrible for droning at certain revs.

Definitely not blowing and I have done the same in a previous Scooby - got a prodrive backbox but changed it back to the pea-shooter. This wagon came with the Prodrive pack and thought I wouldn't mind so much, but I do. Just doesn't work for me, sadly I like quiet cars :-(
Yes Henrik - seems to be worse at 70-80 on the motorway, where is where I do most of my miles. Fine with music on, but I do take a good number of work calls.
