Is up to what u really want m8. I'm on my 3rd now in three years. My car is fully de cated thought. Had hks hi power ....2 loud as i'm using car almost every day. Got a nice fujitsubo ...after a while was missing the exhaust burble as it was too quiet and engine noise was bigger than the exhaust. then put back my hks but got a bung for it. After a while got fed up taking the bung out and puting it back in so now i have fujitsubo legalis super r . It's got that nice deep burble when u drive calm, and it screams when u floor it. So do your home work my friend , youtube, check the noise output on google , not buying whatever and after a while swaping it to smtn else.



Here's my one .....

Hi mate. I have just taken a Racebox back box off my 04 WRX. Basically I have fitted a Vortex because I wanted something a bit louder. I bought the Racebox new from Scoobyworld about 14 months ago and it has only covered about 5000 miles. It's this one:

http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/catalog...roducts_id=686

I paid £249 when I bought it but they are now £200 new. I would be looking for £70 collected if you were interested. I live in Manchester too so I could always meet you somewhere if you were interested and you could take a look.

Cheers,

Paul.

Be warned that a full exhaust from an STI 2005 model onwards wont fit your car (cat back) as they have 4 sections in the exhaust system, yours will probably only have 3 sections, dp, centre and backbox.
Backboxes on their own should be ok

Must say I have just fitted one of these and it is surprisingly good quality. Has a nice growl to it and doesn't deafen you.

Have a nice TSL Group N rear box for sale that will fit straight onto your system

http://www.cobrasport.com/exhaust/Su...2007%29/31/0/0

Tig welding is stronger, neater, And does not leave burr's on the inside of the tube, compared to Mig welding, and note the price ......

Thanks

ive had afew different ones on my scoobies ..... i found Afterburner Vortex is LOUD, Cobra Exhaust is Loudish, Fujitsumo and HKS are quite in comparison to above but still burble. I now have a Graham Goode racing system and this has a nice burble and sounds good on throttle, maybe a tad too quite for my liking but i have a 11 month old and dont make his ears bleed lol. Just my opinion but may help you.

How much you looking for the TSL Grp N box?



On topic, I've been through about 7/8 exhausts during my ownership. The H&S made Vortex is very good and offers a nice note. I've heard this on both de-cat and catted systems and still gives a nice note.

I personally think the RCM exhausts are one of the best made systems you can get. Not sure if unlike there badging if items it is made by them & third party or overseas but whoever it is knows how to weld. I have had the Team Ice system on my car for almost 4 years now and is still working well including the Sports Cat.

The Team Ice takes some getting used to and you will need to have a good relationship with your neighbours and MOT centre.

I'm on the hunt for a Rear box at the moment to quiet it down for daily use which the car is used for.
