Is that Cleeve Hill Cheltenham in the background?

Or just a similar area.....

Sorry to dissappoint you, its nowhere as grand as Cheltenham, its on the downs overlooking Sandown on the Isle of Wight. Taken whilst over there visiting friends.

Mark, is that a Magnex 6"x4" oval back-box I see under there? If so, would you recommend it as a pipe to produce a nice raucous sound?

Harryh,

10/10 on spotting the Magnex.
I've only changed the back box - no mid-section or downpipe for me yet!

I think it does give a much better sound, much deeper and raucous than a standard backbox, great for frightening little old ladies and the local wildlife. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Also I think the 6" x 4" oval suits the back more than the standard twin pea-shooters or the 3 1/2" round option.

I reckon my car <I>needs</I> a noisy exhaust, think it'll go on my Christmas list (shouldn't be hard to guess what it is when wrapped up under the xmas tree http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif )
The standard item makes a nice subdued burble, but as you say doesn't actually scare anyone http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

nice to see your car on here, the 16" are still lookin great on mine, thanks, want to change cars now to the newer interior like yours (see my post in General) but thinking about it still, will take off the 16"'s and keep um safe in case i feel the need for a track day. LOL

4get the 6x4 on marks car, the Magnex 4" round looks as good if not better!!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.giflooks awesome, great sound. I'm like mark and only have the back box but if you get a K&N air filter induction kit it just finishes off the sound to go with the Magnex without having to do tooooo much changing of your car (as these can come off if you want to take them with you when the car goes!!)

Mark glad you are pleased with the back-box, what's the sound like?

Salsa, I think I like the look of the oval better, but you could always try to persuade me of the error of my ways with a picture of the 4" round http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

If you're looking for a backbox, I'll sell you my scoobysport (serious)

Thanks for the offer Daz, but I'm not going to buy one <I>just</I> yet. Going to wait for my waranty to expire first (yep I know some dealers say it doesn't matter, but mine is a Dutch import so I'm unpopular enough already http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif )

The sound is great, a nice deep raucous note under acceleration, and a vastly improved deeper burble at idle. Cruising is noisier than with the standard back box but not unpleasantly so.

Have been asked at the local petrol station if my exhaust has blown and am I going to get it fixed soon! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

s-k have you taken a picture with the 16's on yet? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Mark P

from inside the car it has a lovely
'warm' warbley sound. Outside sounds
fantastic, I got a friend to blast past
me...it just growls and sounds really angry,
I love it :O)

check out the sound on my website!

Hmmmm
spent 20 mins downloadin the high Q file, to find i don't have anything to play it with.

maybe i need to get someone to drive past me in it,don't think it sounds much differant the just the back box!!!!
how do you get it to 'pop' as well?

If you downloaded the HQ one just unzip
it and play the wav file, what OS you using?

a couple of blips of the throttle, I could
do a flypast if you want ;o)
