Exhaust advice
 
I have a 2006 hawkeye wrx and the exhaust was extremely quiet, I replaced the centre link pipe and it's still very quiet so now I'm going to replace the back box. There are 3 that I like within my budget, they are
Ninja, japspeed or tornado, does anyone have any experience fitting any of these to a 2.5 litre? I'm looking for a loud deep sound. Thanks

Would be better replacing the centre and rear box

Ok, the back box looks pretty hefty as standard, so didn't know of I'd have to change that too. Thanks for the advice.

Bought my gb270 with blitz nur spec r back box sounded nice I've just had the centre section replaced with a cobra non resonated straight through piece sounds awsome

Just to double check. The centre pipe starts after the cat right? Don't wanna mess about with emissions etc, thanks for the info @franny66

The back box is connected to a centre pipe which has a resonator in it to quieten it down. The Scorpion centre pipes fit fine. I have a ProDrive WRSport back box from Pro R and a Scorpion centre pipe. Sounds great on a 2006 - not too loud.

The Prodrive back is made by Scorpion by the way.

@ Andy downes thanks for the info. I keep hearing that it's harder to get good sound from the 2.5 litre, so glad to hear its possible.
