Exhaust volume question..
Hi ,
I currently have a Hawkeye WRX Wagon with PPP.
It it standard so therefore has the 2nd Cat delete, OE Centre and Prodrive Backbox.
I am quite happy with the sound of it but tempted to go a bit louder.
I've had quite a few scoobs over the years with plenty of different exhausts fitted ( incl Ninja, Ninja2, Group N , and even Afterburner ).. but never had a Hawkeye so find it hard to gauge the sound because of the different engine ( equal headers? )
So .. with the current setup , would a TSL Group N be louder than my Prodrive 1? I like the "standard" look of them and see there's 1 for sale on here Plus , have thought of getting a straight through centre section which I have had before but , athough it deepened the tone ,it gave slight drone in the cabin even with a sports silencer fitted.
All opinions appreciated.
Steve

This seems to have gone a bit off topic prety quickly!
My point was I remember when the Hawkeye came out the sound was never going to be as "flat4" as the 2.0 engine for some reason .. hence I put " equal headers?"
Anyway.. any opinions on the exhaust people?

Hawkeyes have equal length headers hence they are a bit quieter and smoother sounding on the standard exhaust than the previous models. My Hawkeye WRX exhaust is completely standard and was really quiet until i put the Blitz Nur-Spec S backbox on and instantly i got the burble.

I don't know mate but when i got my car when it was on idle you hardly heard the burble but as soon as that Blitz backbox went on the burble came. I put this down to the size of the tail pipe and the way the backbox is made.

That's incorrect then. Even when I bought my car with a standard exhaust itvhadca little burble. As soon as you fit a larger de-resonated exhaust system you will gradually hear the burble more prominently. Remembering too the new age cars had more soundproofing etc.
