It arrived today!! and its fitted already... I just couldn't wait... and WOW! What a noise! Freezing cold temperatures, yet I was still driving around with the windows down 
Anyway, before this I was a complete "exhaust-virgin", but no longer!
So, if anyone else out there is thinking about it, but is apprehensive of doing the work themselves, I've just put the fitting instructions (with pikkies) on my web site at:

heheh,
Unfortunately, i have also fallen into the 'lets wind the windows down and put the heater up' trick since my scoobysport exhaust. It really does sound great, especially when you get the rare 'pop' from it =)
Should be getting my downpipe soon, so look forward to that

I don't suppose anybody knows of a website with a download of a Scoobysport exhaust noise? I once found a 'before and after' on an Australian site but it wasn't a Scoobysport exhaust.

Wait till you go into a multi storey car park
You end up going to the top just so you can come back down with all the windows open. The burble whilst off throttle coming down the ramps has to be heard to be beleived.

I also fitted one recently, the noise is heavenly but I have found a big downside. It attracts too much attention.
I've got a 5 door turbo and I quite enjoy the way that it goes relatively un-noticed. Since I got the SS back box I get challenged at all the lights by the max power brigade and I'm getting a little bored of it.
Then on sat eve I got pulled over by two police men that were standing at the side of the road. I had just accelerated HARD off the lights but stopped at the 40 limit because I was being careful. I pulled over and he said "evening sir, do you know why we stopped you?" I sat there for a few seconds checking that my lights were not on full beam or that my fog lights were not on and eventually replied "To be honest no!".
He then proceeded to tell me that I was speeding, did I know the limit etc.. I knew that the thing not to do is deny it so I apologised and said I hadn't realised even though I knew for sure (backed up by two passengers) that I was not speeding. He had no proof though and in the end just gave me a ticking off which he ended with "nice car though!".
Too much attention from the loud exhaust!

I wouldn't bother with taking it to a dealer.
It took 15 minutes to fit mine and I didn't even use ramps.
I just parked it on a reasonably deep kerb and slide under with my spanner!

Excellent web page . . . even us muppets could do that.
One suggestion: rather than removing bolts with WD40 get a can of PLUSGAS - used by mechanics for removing awkward, rusty bolts (lasts forever 'cos you only need a bit)

Guys,
The sound gets better after a couple of weeks as I suppose it soots up ?
You get less boom and more burble
lurvly....
gets a little louder too....
Essential Audio equipment, every scoob should have one.

Oh, one more question...
What's The Noise like when your windows are CLOSED? Is it reasonable? I'm just thinking of the times when the wife and baby will be riding with me
Cheers!

Subarussian,
Insurance: depends on the company
Warranty: IM state that is doesn't - although obviously the new exhaust isn't covered. One dealer I spoke to said that if there really was a problem, that I should just stick the original exhaust back on again
