Cool i need help choosing a new back box exhaust

Hi all,

firstly i would like to say hi as this is my first post on here.

I bought my first Scooby 2 weeks ago. I got a 2003 blobeye WRX in silver.

I have really caught the bug and am looking to replace the backbox with something a little better to do the car justice.

I don't want to annoy the neighbours or be deafened on the motorway but i want something that will do the burble of the car justice at low revs and have a sweet roar when you put pedal to the metal.

If anyone has any sound files of exhausts i would be grateful.

I have looked at the scoobyworld site and listened to the racebox, afterburner and ninja exhaust but don't know what would be best.

After this i plan to fit some gauges. I think my credit cards will need to get locked away.

I have the Ninja BackBox fitted. I'd give it thumbs up! It's released enough of the rumble, without being intrusive. If you want to come round and listen, that's fine.

You'll have to be quick though, as full decat is being fitted the 22nd.

Agreed - may I point out that a noisy one becomes unbearable on the motorway for any length of time.

I used to have the H&S standard one which was about right.

I now have a TSL grp N which is on the noisy side but still very niiiiiiiice in WOT!!! I stay in Glasgow so do not make it too loud so as I can hear you going over the Erskine Bridge!!!

Revolution System for power without too much noise! Down side is it can look a little weedy compared to others. I've tried quite a few, but have always found the noise gets to me on a long run. Notice I've said "system", as I would recommend losing the entire standard exhaust in one go (keep the cat pipe to pass the MOT) as the gains are well worth it!!!

I've put a prodrive backbox on my 01 wagon and I wouldn't like to get anything more noisey than that - very nice burble though.
