Ideally looking for a swap

my Magnex Oval 6x4 for something louder

Steve

where abouts are you?

If you are serious about going "louder" then I might have something to interest you - a BPM Twister.

It needs cleaning up but of course once its on you only see the last 3 inches.. and its quite loud, even with a full standard system

I cant fit it to my 01WRX otherwise I would have, so its just stood at work... Needs some TLC, its been on a car all winter and has just been removed and stood in a corner, but there are no holes in it.

Yours for £60 and you can keep your magnex in case its too loud

Is it Stainless?

I would prefer stainless, im in the sunny north

-=Buzz=-

No its not stainless and could do with a clean, maybe even a spray with some of that heat resistant paint, and the end needs Autosol'ing up - I did it before we put it on and it came up OK but not really shiny.

I'd recommend you to try a louder one before you decide its definately what you want, even if its not mine which to be honest is one of the loudest backboxes I've heard. Its noiser at idle than my mates de-cat stainless system, and when it revs up it really sings Makes the car go like stink too

I always wanted my scooby to sound like it did with this backbox on, but it was only 6 weeks after we'd sold the car that my 80'odd year old half deaf great aunty and uncle from next door told me they were glad we'd got a new car! I wouldn't mind but it was the wife driving it every day and taking it really steady from cold!
I LOVE the noise it makes

I'm only in Hull so even if you want to try it out first then decide I'm sure I can trust you and we can arrange a meet up and you can drive off with it to test (and I can flame you on TWO forums if you nick it )

If you decide you DO like it then we'll talk about some money, but it wont be much - I just want rid now.

sonic,

This may be doesnt look pretty from the photo, but trust me this sounds awesome, better than my blitz nur spec, you have got to hear it to believe it..!!!

And its a piece of art from underneath...i.e a double type back box.

Dan

-=Buzz=-

lo Dan

You think I can trust Sonic enough to lend him it to try??

dhorwich

Someone surly could chrome plate the tip or something..

Dan

-=Buzz=-

Possibly

You sure YOU don't want it? I'll lend you it

I reckon I need one of these babies...

uuuuuummmmmmmmm drooooooooollll..!!!!

Dan

-=Buzz=-

actually my mate has just changed the oem downpipe on his RB5 WR Sport for a Hayward and Scott one.. and instead of stopping at 140 it goes off the clock at 160 and keeps going !!

Maybe thats the way to go..

*Sonic*

Thanks for the info, I am prepared to give it a go

Im working down in Mansfield this week, so will be away, but in a few weeks time im woring in Rothwell, which isnt that far from Hull, so perhaps we could meet up then

-=Buzz=-

No problem at all.

In fact, I'll try to motivate myself to clean it up for you

That way even if you dont like it I can sell it on afterwards. Really should get rid of it to some worthy deserving scooby owner

-=Buzz=-

Done it, cleaned it off, autosol'd the end section, cleaned all the salt/mud etc from the body and treated it to some 500 degree C aluminium paint

Pics to follow when I get home.

Rothwell near Caistor? No problem, I'll pop it over to you - assuming I haven't sold it for thousands prior to you wanting it, now its so clean

*Sonic*

Cheers

Rothwell is near Caistor, and not a bad run for the car, down into Rothwell, the job is still unconfirmed, but it should be in a few weeks time

Alternatively we could meet up before then

-=Buzz=-

tell me where you are (email if you prefer) and I'll see what jobs we've got on.

This week I'm going to Northampton on Wednesday, East Kilbride on Thursday and God knows where Friday , so I tend to "get about a bit".. phnaar phnaar

*Sonic*

Well at the moment, Im in Mansfield, and will be the rest of this week

Then apparantly Im in Oldham for two days, and then Warrington for two days, then the week after Liverpool

Then its Rothwell

-=Buzz=-

OK, pics..

top side :



underside :



and the spinny vortex things that give it the nmame Twister and make it sound so goooood :



Sorry the pics are a bit big. The end is about 75mm diameter btw, its not as massive as it looks in the picture

*Sonic*

LOL that looks Hooj

need to sort out meeting up then

If your going to Northampton, im only 5 mins from M1 A38 Junction, but would depend on what time you are going past

if its evening, right near to the M1, A610 Nottingham junction

Steve

-=Buzz=-

Actually its enormous, now its painted it looks like an old ally dustbin

Change of plan for me now, I'm going to Scotland on Thursday

HHmmm.. Jn 28 then? thats the A38 one.

I'm sure I can go somewhere on Friday to enable me to go past there.. let me have an address and I'll see what I can arrange


[Edited by -=Buzz=- - 5/27/2003 10:18:03 PM]

*Sonic*

Yep Jct 28 is the A38 one

Friday might be a bit tricky, as Im trying to get finsihed early (like thursday), and have friday off if poss, as im out friday night in Manchester, so need to be back home

heres my moby 07890 275022 if you want to give me a call we can arrange something

Cheers

Steve

-=Buzz=-

OK, I'll see whats happening tomorrow, and see when I'm free.
Are you around maybe even tomorrow then? No specific plans at the moment, but maybe I can think of something. Mansfield isnt that far either

Regards

Paul

*Sonic*

yep

im around tomorrow, staying over, so isnt too bad

let me know

Cheers

Steve

MCGARY

Dood

Sonic ... I'm actually looking to straight swap my Hayward and Scott backbox for something a little quiter, Magnex is fine as long as I won't get any loss of power from the swap over.

*Sonic*

Dood You Have Mail

Johnny50

Sonic..

Did you fit the Twister ?

am keen to find out what it was like.

I'm looking to get something a bit louder too, i'm on a Magnex 6x4 at the moment, but swithering wether to replace the centre and downpipe, as thats all standard.

Johnny

*Sonic*

I went to try the Twister, but it is a 3" Bore, and my Centre section is a 2.5" bore, so I didnt try and fit it, although it may be ok

Johnny50

Ahh.
I presume then that mine will be the same.

Can you get a centre pipe to take it up to 3in at the back ?
I'd be keen on getting a Twister if they sound good.

Johnny.

*Sonic*

My centre is a Magnex decat with resonator, It does look like the Twister will fit, but as it is so loud anyway (allegedly) then I dont want it blowing too

the dead would definatly awake

Johnny50

Cooool !
Thats what i want.

Seeing as i'm on a standard system, and just a magnex bb, i'll have a look into buying a full system.

Let me know how you get on !

Johnny
