as title, ive got standard wrx 2001 wagon. is the prodrive back box any louder/meatier.? my exhaust is completly standard and just wanted to make a bit better sounding without de cat and mapping etc. its my first scoob. if so would this fit my car ? would it alter anything if i fitted it? thanks

it looks like its been welded at the joint doesnt it??

 

Prodrive backbox will be louder than the stock. I've recently gone from a stock cat'd exhaust to a full decat prodrive one. The size difference in the backbox was quiet noticable. The prodrive one was smaller with a bigger pipe bore which will make it sound awesome.
Go for it!

 

Prodrive backbox is about same on idle, but is fair bit louder on full chat but not annoying drone at motorwsy cruising

 

so will that one fit straight on? im unsure about 02 sensors etc as the one ive shown you has the centre part as well doesnt it? thanks

 

its relatively quiet on idle, well not look at me type of noise and also nice and peaceful when motorwaying it

 

I had the prodrive backbox on my car and found it quiet full stop. I now have hayward and scott which has abit more noise but not a great deal more and is unintrusive my exhaust is standard apart from a sports cat although I have an sti.

 

I have the prodrive back box on my blob wagon and really like it, quiet but with a low key burble around town, until you press the loud pedal, then not too noisy but with a nice deep sound, it's perfect for me as a daily driver.

I also have a full decat 3" milltek system on my sti type r and even with the resonated centre section it's too much for my liking, although not as bad as some i have heard, and the drone is a pain on long motorway trips, but great for a weekend car, couldn't live with it everyday though.

 

looks like a std centre section so just use the rearbox on your car with your existing centre box

 

thanks gambit,does it look welded to you?

 

hard to see in the pic, but i wouldnt have thought so? sections just bolts together.
