Unimpressed with Genome backbox....
I had a genome backbox fitted along with a prodrive sportscat and compared to the standard cat pipe and prodrive backbox it seems pretty tame anyone experience the same?? is it worth going for a de-resonated centre section to beef it up?

I have a genome on my jdm twinscroll. I have standard downpipe cat and a deresonated centre pipe and it sounds great never heard one on a uk car but removing the resonator can only help. Don't think I would want it any louder tbh as it screams on boost.

Just throw the towel in and go for the Blitz R. I had several system before going for the Blitz combined with the Prodrive Sports cat. This set up was simply awesome.

I doubt i will sell it after the time and effort trying to locate a decent one. I just thought it would sound deeper on tick over and have a better burble, love the sound at full chat though

Thought i was in trouble there, sorry to hear its not to your taste Lee.
I agree they are nice and subtle about town but sound lovely on a B road blast, suits me perfectly.
I was also very pleased after changing from a fujitsubo jap exit system as angled exits seem to hang very low down on the car, something to watch out for if you are considering a change.

I used to have a prodrive backbox on mine and then changed it for a genome as I wasn't happy with the noice from teh prodrive. I thoughyt the prodrive was even quieter than the genome. Before I had the prodrive I had a full 3inch decat which was unbelievably loud! It's defo a horses for courses whin it comes to exhausts and noise.
I really like the noise from my genome and the looks. I'm doing a bit of work on the scoob at the min (new turbo, FMIC plus other bits) not looking forward to deciding what to do with the exhaust as I'm drawn to a full 3inch decat for the power but really like the genome so don't want to change it If only they did a 3inch genome!
