i have a 07 2.5 wrx with standard exaust for now, whats the best cat back system to go for? i want the burble but dont want to upset the neibours either, a sort of in the middle sound i wish i could do a poll to see what you guys think!!!!

gallois

TSL grpN back box and TSL deres center section will give a nice subdued rumble. I had this but found it a bit too quiet, so i de-catted it too, now it sounds nice off boost, but sounds like a rally car when on boost.

dumb question now, is there only 1 cat? or 2? cheers gallois....

scoobywest

What about the full decat system from Scoobyclinic ?

RUDDY

scoobywest

RUDDY

exaclty the same position i was in.. wanted to hear the burble but not upset the neighbours..

tried TSL Group N backbox but that was too quiet... then tried a de-res centre section with it but still too quiet..

so now i have a Afterburner Vortex back box and a TSL de-res centre section and its sounds perfect!!

drtchock do you have a recent pic of the vortex? what did you go for straight exit or angled? cheers

I've got a TSL group N backbox and deresenator section on my MY07 WRX and it sounds lovely, gets a few pop backs too. It took about 4,000 miles to bed in properly and it was fitted at 100 miles the day I got the car.
I would recommend it to anyone as its well made too.

2cats. a small one in the down pipe, and a larger one in the section just after it. ('07 wrx).

if it's a TSL your after, their website is TSL MOTORSPORT | Subaru Saab Mitsubishi | parts | repair | servicing | performance tuning | UK

Hi Sideways
Does you mod affect the manufacturer's warranty?

RUDDY

I have the PPP and think the sounds is spot on.... adds a nice throb and base to the note but is no where near my old classic Scoobysport decat system which used to wake the neighbours and the dead.

tsl seems to be popular!!! might go with them any other systems people recomend?

gallois

possibly/probably but meh, you only live once

Hi Tony. Were you disappointed with the sound of the standard 2.5? I have just received the catalogue from Scoobyworls and the RaceBox back box seems a good solution until I put the PPP on.

Hi Peter,

Coming from a modded classic when i picked up the 2.5 from the dealer i couldn't tell if the engine was actually running ..... yep, I was very disappointed in the noise. But that's just the way it is with new cars these days given the current noise regs etc.

There are many arguments why PPP can be bettered, but for me it's a great product and gives a nice lump of extra performance (especially torque ) and a nice subtle grown up performance noise. I.e when the car drives past you can here and feel that it has power in a subtle way, rather than rice'd up classics which can damage your hearing when they drive past at a gentle 30mph (much like a Nova with a Peco big bore ).... way way over the top.

Tony.
