H&s complete catback any good?
hey, i just bought a new bellmouth 3" to 2.5" downpipe cant remember the make of it, a straight through de-cat centre section again cant remember the name, and i have a H&S 2.5", 3" tailpipe classic style backbox, for my 98 turbp 2000..
I just been looking up about the noise of the h&s and supposingly it wont be that loud :mad: does anyone have the same setup or no if its loud quiete or what? :( maybe i need to go and get a vortex afterburner after all as i was looking at that backbox first? Thanks! |
if you have bought the one in the link below,then you will be a tad dissapointed if you want a loud exhaust system as this is on par with a racebox /prodrive system.An afterburner vortex believe me is in a total different league,it is loud but not so when it settles down on tickover,where you get a nice bassy burble.

I got one and hes right im dissapointed, is not much different from norm and i doubt it gave 18bhp wouldt get another for the price

I just sold my blitz for a H&S and im looking forward to silence!!! The constant noise from the blitz even with a bung on the motorway was just rediculous and its not comfortable at all it you have kids but if thats what you like then yes a vortex/blitz/cobra is more suited for over 100db.

The beauty of the afterburner vortex is that when you have the bung inserted , the system is quieter than a prodrive backbox.
I have driven my car a fair few miles on the motorway at a constant 70 - 80 mph(off boost) and there is no cabin drone at all. |

hi, have you actually heard one of these fully decated then, because there are vids on youtube and they sound pretty loud and growly? so im not sure i might get the rest fitted (downpipe and centre pipe) and see how it sounds.. i wouldnt think it would be quiet with a decat down pipe and straight centre section though :freak3:
Listen to this when the guy stops accelerating(tickover): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-k8b-Ucwj2A |

It is well worth checking out ebay or the for sale section on hear imho.the quality of the backboxes means they wont rust and can be picked up quite cheaply. My 1st one I bought off a breaker from Leicester for £80,which needed a hangar bending up.The 2nd one was from a lad called Tazz on this site for £110 and my mate has it on his car now.The one I currently have, and it really is in mint condition,which seems to pop more on overrun than the others cost me £60 posted off ebay.All 3 were and are genuine afterburner vortex backboxes,so they do come up.
None on ebay at the moment but you missed a couple which ended 2 weeks ago,will pm you if i see any more come up.:thumb: |
thanks although, i am going to see someone next next week to buy a RCM Team Ice! rofl! bring on the DB's!!! mwhahahaha! :D
