is the nurspec R louder than the S... i had the nurspec R on for about a week with full decat and i couldnt be doing with it.... just wondering if the S is any quieter


Fu**ing back boxes...ill get there in the end

 

Yes it's quieter.

 

thanks for that...no messing..straight answer. cheers

 

IMHO the 3" cat back obviously makes the R louder through the car, but the resonator makes it worse inside the car. It sits right under your **** and reverberates ! Run an S with a 2.5" straight through centre and it will be much better.

 

thats what ive got at the min..2.5" turbo back with afterburner vortex BB

 

Lol I know

 

im sure everyone does haha

 

I have a Nur Spec S with a straight through centre pipe removing the resonator on a 2007 STI. I do not have a de-cat done.

And it is still VERY loud. So I dread to think what an R sounds like!

 

Pussies !

 

I also have the S mated to a H&S straight through centre pipe with the prodrive sports cat. Its a lovely sound - loud but not OTT. There is a different tone to it over the afterburner/H&S jap style box. I loved my jap style but now prefer the Blitz and am glad i changed

 

CORRECT - either that or getting old

 

i'd take a NUr spec R back any day!! I sold mine and put a Kakumei zorst on the scoob, 3inch from the downpipe back, sounds great, but would love the blitz again.... one day..

Ricey

 

I have H&S Sports Cat to decat straight through to the 'S on MY06 STi Spec D. Hand on heart it isn't loud inside. Compared to my Apexi N1 it's silent

 

I've got a cat back 3" Fujitsubo titanium middle and rear on mine and that's really loud, and I love it!!

 

anyone want to swap their nurspec S for my vortex

 

No, but I would have had your STi Genome for my NUR Spec S

 

typical haha

 

lol, i thought i was bad with back boxes, you're taking it to a new level powerwrx

trouble is, what is it you're trying to achieve? a quiet tick over with all hell breaking loose up the rev range or just deafness from starting up? or do you just get bored with them easily?

the nearest i've got to ticking all the boxes for civilised mayhem is the genome, but then you know about that already if that doesn't work for you mate i'm wondering what there is left to try!!

 

the genome was perfect but not quite loud enough...im wanting a nice tick over burble with a rumble when driving...but not mega loud. im after a rally car type of sound but i know that sound comes with a price so something as close as poss

 

i must be getting old, it's about as loud as i'd want it now TBH

looking back to the good old days of a full decat and afterburner vortex, no wonder the neighbours hate me and call me their personal alarm clock

best of luck mate, can't be many more to tick off the list now to try
any tuners got any advice with an exhaust system/backbox combo to give you what you want?
i wouldn't have the patience to try different combinations of catted/silenced sections but maybe this is the only way to get the sound across the rev range that you're after?

 

I'll swap

 

You don't want much do you?

 

swap with what? what you got?

 

Revolution 3" Decat

 

Wanna bet? I would recommend the TSL Group N Backbox ..got mine with the afterburner straight-thro centre swection .. I recon it gives that rally scooby sound ..it has that harder sounding dugga-dugga sound like a decat if that makes sense.
I'm thinking tho of replacing the centre section with 1 with the sports silencer in it cos at 60+ its reverbs thro the car quite a bit.

Steve

 

thanks for the reply mate but ive had the TSL Group N box already

 

YouTube - Wrc Germany 2007 Subaru extreme sound

i want this kinda sound

 

I'm sure a RCM Team Ice sounds like this but surely you are having a laugh.

Why not try some equal length headers to change the tone of the exhaust especially on full chat.
