2006 sti resonator?
 
hi, need a bit of advice please, car completely standard, everything great but just to quiet, i dont want nothing to loud but do want to hear some of that classic burble from the exhaust, would it help getting resonator changed out for a cat back straight through center section but keep standard sti backbox. ive seen one on scoobyworld for £93 is that about right price, and would this give me what im looking for?
not a lot of money spare as most gone on buying car and ins.

Be Careful changing the resonated section it can create cabin noise and a sort of booming.
I bought a second hand prodrive back box for my 2006 STI, not to loud.:)
If its just the sound you are after I recommend to change the back box, If you post up that you are after one I'm sure one will pop up :D

not much diff really i sold my vortex as too loud and ran the standard sti box with deres centre and it still sounded standard lol

bought a hayward and scott group n style similar to the prodrive nice lil burble crusing about but nice roar on a blast, you will pick a prodrive bb up for newage on ebay for around £100 and easy to fit two bolts and 3 rubbers takes half an hour

ok thanks mate, are you now getting burble with just changing to the prodrive backbox.

I swapped over to a PP backbox on my 06 WRX and there was a difference but not as much as I was looking for, could not hear anything from inside the cabin, next went and purchased the centre section from scoobyworld and what a difference, the 2 together are perfect for me and not boomy or lound on the Mway.

Thanks
A

Makes some difference but not huge amounts on the MY06STi. Made more difference on my 53WRX. If you want more burble you need to change your Back Box really. NurSpec S isn't intrusive and will be even less intrusive with the centre resonator still fitted.
