The right match of dp, centre and backbox can make a big difference in power and torque.

The art is find the right kit that works.

Regards,
Shaun.

When I've replaced the dp I'm always amazed at the difference in torque & turbo spool up. Great mod.

Don't know if anyone knows but, how much louder will a DP make the exhaust?
I've got a Blitz Nur spec which is really loud anyway, don't really want it any louder, but i'm planning a down pipe for ther extra poke it'll give.

Earlier this year I decatted centre back and fitted a ninja BB (newage wrx 05) and although louder (mainly due to being used to OEM pea shooters..!) it was not over the top, just nice and deep. Dosen't drone on m'way but screams high up rev range..! Spool up seemed a little better and enging reved easier (I think)..?

I was conserned that removing up and down pipe cats would make it too noisy however the difference was negligable (sp?) if anything..! Performance wise, can't say it seemed any difference (I didn't push the car as remap was due two days later) however after mapping... WOW..!

Only thing that could be better with the Ninja BB is it hangs a little too low for my liking. I suppose the hangers could be bent down a little..?
