Why do people only fit backboxes to scoobies? I've seen loads with a scoobysport backbox and a downpipe?
Is this the best way of doing it on a scoob?
I've got an RST (which will be ditched next year for a scoob) with a full magnex system on it, I wouldn't consider putting just a backbox on it.
Oh and was a 'PPP'?!?
cheeRS.

Main reasons for me

MOT emissions failure if you remove both cats and have to put them back on time and/or money.
Noise in the cabin just a BB is nice full systems can be very noisy
Insurance (just a BB normally okay full system they start to look)
Fueling - full decat system is possibly going to affect fuelling and possible detting unless you do other things as well.
The neighbours are okay (ish) with BB full system may be not and dont want to sound boy racer (ish).

Do to new insurnace company I am thinking of a centre but I dont intend doing the D/P.

cheers

Daz,

Actually, I think most people fit full systems with a few people just fitting a BB...
