Default STI Genome Backbox

Just guaging interest at the moment - thinking of putting the car back to standard


pic taken from original for sale thread - thanks Paulo Spec C - exhaust is in exactly same condition,

May be selling my STI Genome Backbox - excellent condition (a small part of the colouring from one of the letters has come off as per pic) - has been on my hawkeye for the past year. brought from a member on here.

most will know this as the definitave backbox for a scooby and very hard to get hold off. has a nice low quite burble on tickover and then nice and load when under full boost.

still on the car at the moment, will post pics when its lights. Looking for £250 collection preferred - post extra.

Cheers
Rich

Really nice back boxes, It's a shame they only did them in 2 1/2"

I had one of these last year, absolutely loved it due to the discreet low burble sound. I sold it due to needing more power and going 3"

I was generous with my price though, sold it for £160 IIRC

I had a prodrive sports cat and a standard sti resonated centre section and along with the Genome backbox i strugg;ed to get past 340bhp on my old Bug sti. The noise it made was good though, it screamed and sounded like a plane at full chat due to the restriction

Two weeks and a 3" Miltek system later the car made well over 370 with meth

Do you need a standard sti exhaust? If you do how much would you take for it with my exhaust in exchange? Done 44k miles on a 2007 hawkeye? Thanks
