Today is a good day i've just fitted a Scoobysport down pipe and centre section to my sti 5 ra to add to the back box which i already thought sounded great but nothing quite prepares you for the awesome instant turbo pick up and the glorious sound (no this is not an advert for Scoobysport) simply my appreciation of a great purpose made system which sounds particularly gorgeous through the mersey tunnel with all 4 windows down addictive. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

impreza drivers boring and anal ( autocar )
never oh that reminds me i must go out and polish the centre section at 3 am this morning.

Regards

Tim

Been there, do it frequently..... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

....ask the driver of the stoopid old Merc that overtook me on the inside in the Dartford tunnel a couple of weeks ago - let him get ahead, dropped it into third and went past him at 7000rpm - I think he thought the tunnel was caving in... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

makes wearing a lid at track days a sin thinking of drilling holes in the sides or piping the exhaust into the car no maybee not http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/tongue.gif

Dave T-S 20 February 2001 08:50 PM

Dougie - worth every penny, IMHO.

General concensus seems to be that back box is good, BB + centre pipe is better, but adding the D/P is what makes all the difference. I can't say, cos had all three done together..... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Can say however the end result is brilliant!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

It sounds better than the WRC.....where are you on Planet Earth - you should find an owner locally and have a listen... http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Got to say that I have a Micron race pipe on my GSXR & the howl it makes as you give it 10,000+ RPM through the N'bound Blackwall Tunnel is an aural orgasam http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

RB5SCOTT 21 February 2001 06:15 PM

Heathrow airport has a couple a good tunnels! Their nice and small, one of them is about 15ft wide and about 8ft high. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif ............nice and loud http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Has anyone fitted a Scoobysport dp to a Magnex Centre & bb? as a dp will be the next addition! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

The Scoobysport bb deff. has a different sound to the Magnex.

Straight through systems on a normal scoob sound completely different (better IMO!) to a WRC car, as we found out when we went testing with Marko Martin in N. Wales last October.

The headers are a different setup on the WRC. The same, I think, as Pete Croney's RA and I followed that down the road a few months ago, it sounds totally different - the exhaust note is much more of a rasp.

Dave

You're spot on there m8 - she just won't go on the bike no more. Something to do with her handbag http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

That's why I've always got the single seat option on (that & no friends http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif )

However, I have great hopes for my daughter being a petrol head - started with chanting "Subaru Subaru" at her aged 2 days http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Scoobsport & tunnels, very bad http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Last weekend in my friends S2000, roof down, in a long tunnel, 9000rpm, woaaaahaaa http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

As we slowed down could hear something 'bloody fast' sounding very much like an F1 car hurtling up behind us.....Ferrari 360 driven by a nutter!

2-3 mile tunnel under central Lyon. Not in a Scooby though, my Land Rover!! (Jon Eales 3.9, 7000 revs in 3rd, 85mph or so) We have an annual pilgrimage every May. Sadly the vehicle is modified and I can only find space for 1 small silencer. Shame that.
