Default Prodrive VS Scoobysport Back Box

Hi all,

Havent been on here for ages, now have a 55 Plate STI (does that make it a MY55??

Would like to change the rear box as it is waaay to quiet!! Can anyone recommend a back box please?

Thinking of Prodrive or the New Scoobysport Backbox

Also does anyone know if the Scoobysport Backbox will invalidate the warranty? I know that the Prodrive one wont..

Thanks in advance!!

Probably all down the pub mate as it's Friday night

I have an 05 Sti PPP and think the Prodrive exhaust is still too quiet, sounds great but too quiet....I'm gonna change mine for something with a bit more volume, probably H&S. Can't comment on the Scoobysport one though.

I'm in the same boat as you, called my local dealers regarding the warranty, he said a prodrive will be fine, anything else may be questionable. I think if its only a back box how can it go wrong. At the end of the conversation he added keep the old exhaust as a back up incase it a warranty claim does pop up!.

I'm currently looking at the RaceBax from Scoobyworld.co.uk, they have a video+sound clip, and its just what I'm after, have a look and see what you think!.

Have to admit, the Racebox sound the nuts!! I do alot of motorway miles, so will be perfect!, dont think I will take them up on the p/x though, as my car is only 5 months old & wanna keep it in case of a warranty claim!!

Cheers for all your help guys....

I've got an H&S 3.5" on my bugeye WRX, looks and sounds great. I've also had a Magnex 6x4 oval on which sounded better on tickover but not as good on acceleration.

I've also tried a TSL Tiphoon. Sounded GREEEEAAAAT but was OTT for me as it's an everyday car and it was also too much on the motorway.

WhiteSTI: So are you going to take the plunge and get a RaceBox?, by the end of the month I'll know whether I'll get one or not.
