Default 2.5ltr & Prodrive exhaust

Just wondering if anyone has a MY07 2.5, with the Prodrive back box and a straight through centre section, say from H&S?

Just wondering what it sounds like.

On the RB320, I currently have a CAT back, Blitz Nur Spec R, which I love. But a neighbour has been moaning about it being too loud!

I've put the bung in, which I have to say is a little quieter & sounds lovely on full chat....actually like a bloody jet engine!

Cheers
Iggy

I used to have a Hawkeye with H&S straight through centre and Prodrive back-box.

Was a nice subtle burble but you may be disappointed coming from the Blitz?

i looked round for a while with youtube videos of different exhausts and the prodrive seems quite quiet think there is a huge difference.

I've tried TSL group N, Milltek and Prodrive, the prodrive was by far the quietest really like the Milltek I have on now.

2006 wrx with original catted down pipe and 2nd decat Milltek de res center.

The prodrive backbox is really subtle!

Mongoose (aka Collins Engineering) do a good backbox if you want the burble, but need to keep things a little more hush, hush!

I got a Prodrive back box with a H&S centre section.It's still got the Subaru bubble but it is quiet.I know the Miltek exhaust is a good mix between the two,not to quiet but doesn't have the neighbour moaning.

I have a Milltek and sports cat and find it perfect for the burble and the sound is great at full chat.

You must have a right miserable git of a neighbour igg. I've heard your car and imho it's not loud. I can understand you want to keep the peace being the mild-mannered bloke you are but don't be bullied mate !

Get a Db reading from your car at idle and ask an mot man what is concidered acceptable.

I have de resonated centre and genome back box, Its loud when opened up but quiet around town and on idle, not had any neighbour complaints yet, but my neighbour is my brother so not really a problem. I had prodrive box on my old wrx and it was a nice sound with de resonated centre section and I was pleased with the sound. I fitted a genome to my new car as its a jdm and wanted a jdm exhaust,
