Backbox - Remap?

[pmacFTO]

I am looking for a new backbox as I want to remove the 5" exit and get something a bit smaller and possibly quieter but still have my burble!

I have a full magnex system on it and both cats are deleted so that would contribute to the volume no doubt. I thought it was a 3" or 3.5" but a garage said to me it's 2.5" so can I just get a standard STI exhaust or maybe a Prodrive? Is 2/5" the standard bore?

Also - if I only change the backbox will I need to remap or is that not a requirement? The car has an Ecutek and Andy F remap just now so don't want to upset it in any way.

It's a newage WRX I have.

Standard diametre is 2.5" and a remap wouldnt be required fora BB change

Excellent news Now I just need to see who has one going cheap Also spoke to Steve Whitson a few mins ago and he said the same.

Would I still have my burble even with a standard STI or ProDrive box then? SInce it's already mapped and de-catted?

PM me if you have a backbox that would suit pls guys - I'll post in Wanted too

Argh, should've fired mine up for you with my nice quiet subtle one for comparison for you and to hear that's burble...would've been good just to see it still starts as well !

I have the standard WRX one somewhere but doubt you'd want to go quite that quiet !!

I may have this wrong but did I read somewhere recently that maybe Arch and/or RS Grant may have standard ones lying about ??

Take it you're checking over scoobynet too.

I saw the ones RS Grant and Arch have...not looked on SN as I don't like how commercialised it's gone - ads everywhere and it's so slow too.

[pmacFTO]

pm me a price pls bobby...will that be pretty quiet or will I still have my burble?

Aye I have Gus's PM about a back box but I am trying to get one cheaper as I have had to get the front bumper resprayed and buy 2 new back tyres after my little skidding/crashing incident
