I've got a Magnex on mine. Nice burble on tickover and it comes to life if the revs build [nothing excessive]

Once when my mota was on a RR a pal told me my zorst was not loud enough [tickover] but when the revs hit the high numbers he turned back and said it was :D

nice. you have a prodrive upgrade all through? how is it on the wagon, might go for that myself.

I find the wagons to be quite loud inside, I suppose the open boot floor (obviously above the exhaust box) makes for a louder cabin.

I have a Magnex on my wagon and it seems very loud inside yet when I hear the mrs drive off in it it doesn't appear that loud.

how would i best go about having something done to my zorst? buy the parts myself and ask a garage to fit them? or just find a garage that does it all or what? i have no skills in that area myself. and have never had any mods done to a car.

PPP only [Prodrive ECU, zorst & samco hoses ;)]

I would suspect that if you're really unable to undo two nuts and bolts, (maybe three) then the best bet would be to purchase the parts, then go to an exhaust type place and get it swapped....

island991 28 January 2006 11:30 PM

is it that easy? a couple of nuts and bolts to get a better sound?

seriously?

if it is ill do it myself! ive just never done any work on a car before!!

RON 28 January 2006 11:38 PM

There are two bolts holding the backbox to the centres section, and one on the rear hanger that you need to remove to get the thing off, theree are two/three rubber hangers aswell.. but it really is that simple, i could do it in five minutes with the car on a kerb if no jack could be found!!

Thats obviously just to change the backbox, but thats the best place to start. i would personally recomend the Hayward and Scott version, if you go direct to them they will even make you a quiter one if you don't want it too loud....!!

i just wanna hear some of that flat4 throb!! but not be annoyed when on the motorway by a constant racket!!

As above, I had a H&S angled thingy, but just too loud:freak3: , so reverted back to standard.
