Question

Hi Guys
I've got a full ss system fitted but wondered if a Magnex b/box would be a bit quieter (NAGGING WIFE SYNDROME)

Thanks in advance.

How long have you had the system for??

My other half couldn't stand the new exhaust that I wopped on, has taken her a while, but she too loves it now!

SS Downpipe/Blitz Nur-spec R without baffle .

If you haven't had it for that long then just find something to keep her occupied when in the car She'll soon get over it.

Cheers,


Nick

Ty in a word 'Yes'

I've run both and the Magnex is quieter. I been running a SS DP with magnex centre and backbox for a while and it is much less noisy than a full SS system (I have a direct comparison, as my other half's Scooby runs a full SS ). Just changing the backbox will make a big difference. If you fit the Magnex centre with resonator then this will certainly quieten the car down quite a lot.

If you want a Magnex bb and centre section, mine maybe available in a few days - email me if you're interested.

Chris.

Out of interest, any performance difference between the Magnex backbox and the Scoobysport?

I've had a Magnex BB on my old WRX and have a ScoobySport BB on my UK spec.

Personally I think the ScoobySport is a little bit louder and drones more than the Magnex did (not alot in it tho').

Just glad I got the SS BB secondhand (i.e it didn't codt me anymore thana Magnex).

The SS is supposedly a little freer flowing than the Magnex, so in theory, yes there should be a slight power increase. Whether you can detect that difference is debatable. It is hard for me to say, because my SS exhaust was fitted at the 30000 mile service and together with a few other minor changes, it is hard to say whether the SS actually makes that much difference. It does sound nice though and the car is flying at the moment
