Default Exhausts, noise / performance

Guys i have just put a Blitz nur spec R on my WRX an its silly loud, i love the noise but think its gonna have to go.

My question is what is the next best jap built cat back thats quieter and where can i get them?

If anyone has a good exhaust, is close to Leeds and wouldb interested in a swap i'll consider anything!! WHY?

I think JASMA-marked Jap exhuasts are one of the quietest for a Scoob.

I had one on when the car was first bought and it was very quiet (relatively speaking) indeed.

I now have a Cobra which is loud, but not mentally so.

Impreza Turbo 1993-2000 Classic : Subaru Impreza Racebox Performance Exhaust System

Impreza Turbo 1993-2000 Classic : Subaru Impreza Hayward and Scott Performance Exhaust

These are pretty quiet when not boosting and at steady speeds, I think.

But they make a pleasing amount of volume when hooning (but not stupidly so).

I had this conversation with Paul @ Zen yesterday when discussing my build. Car will be circa 600bhp when finished. I had a Blitz NUR Spec R and it would be way too noisy for track days etc.

He recommended either Miltek or Jetex.

the S mates with your standard centre sectio 2.5" the R is the 3" system narrowing to 2.5" at the downpipe. ide say the noise will be the same

looking at the miltek in the thread ide not buy one

Id go for to H&S & get them to build one to ypur spec in terms of high flowing & decibel range. Failing that go for something like a HKS Silent power or a Genome & modify it to 3".

ps most Scoobyworld / Ninja etc are made by H&S.

How much did you pay for all that mate and where from if you dont mind me asking?

H&S i'm guessing they have a website? might give them a call.

I put the bung in yesterday and went for a drive and it sounds perfect, nice and subtle but still roars when you give i some!
