Default Brand New H&S or used Prodrive?

Gentlemen and ladies,

I may be able to get a brand new Hayward and Scott Exhaust back box for £150, or I could hold out for a used Prodrive back box for around the same price.

Which would you go for. I used to have a Prodrive on my old WRX PPP and really miss the sound. My STI's standard back box is not cutting the mustard, I'm afraid.

Ive had both on scoobs and they are both pretty good, is the H&S the nicer rounded tip or one of those jap style boxes? I think they look better when they are nicely rounded off but you wont go far wrong with either

Tony, the H&S has the rounded end.

Then its really down to your personal preference, I had a H&S on my previous Spec C and it gave a nice sound (with the standard centre and cat dp), ive a PPP back box now on my new Spec C with a H&S centre section and that really does sound nice

I have an H&S cat back on a newage STi and it's nice. Not too loud but 'fruity' when you plant the right foot

+1 for the H & S ,£150 for a prodrive backbox is a bit dear nowadays imho. 18 months ago you could get them for that price all day long,now most seem to sell around the £80 - £100 and sometimes considerably less.

Another one for the H+S. I had one on my last Scoob. Nice sound and great quality. Steve.

As already said, you can buy a used prodrive box in good condition for £50 now. I sold mine a while ago.
