mctwistuk Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Ok so looking for a cat back for my Sti and wondered what people thought was a hood option. Got about £350 max to spend on it and that will include gasket and new bolts. So far I have looked at japspeed, cobra, tornado from scoobyparts, afterburner vortex, miltek and ninja1 and2. Would have loved meerkat but think out of my price range. So what do you guys recommend? Cheers Chris Link to comment
scoobywho Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Got a Hayward and Scott backbox on mine with a custom centre section from c and c and was about 360 total Link to comment
davey l wrx Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The Litchfield came with a Miltek fitted and when you give a few revs it sounds great and it's not too loud when you're in cruise mode. No idea of the price though. Link to comment
gc8-r Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Second hand hks..... Silent hi-power one Look the best and very quiet till about 4k then they roar... Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I have heard afterburner are good but nit too sure about how loud they are. Japspeed is very cheap but dies that mean poor build quality? Link to comment
corsa Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Snakehead D/pipe, full 3" straight through with a Roger Clark Motorsport Team Ice backbox, yer neighbours will love ya ;-) Mine certainly do LOL Link to comment
lewisscoob Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Haha, I can hear you from Aberdeen with that on Davie! Link to comment
johnnyr6 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Have you spoken to meerkat? You might be surprised iirc they are very reasonable. What about a second hand blitz nur spec? Get one with a bung and it can be loud when wanted and quiet when not in the mood. Johnny. Link to comment

mctwistuk Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Blitz I think would be too loud lol. Needs to be able to be used on long road trips to the ring etc. Cobra seem to get good reviews but never heard one in real life. Might drop meerkat a note and see how they price these days.

mctwistuk Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 well dci lee has done it again and did some sweet talking to meerkat for me so now just need to get it booked in and decide what exhaust note i want. looking for something not blitz loud but defo louder than the last 2 exhausts i had. then i will have a prodrive backbox up for sale.

spect Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 I have an afterburner centre section and Ninja2 back and it is nice Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 So the shorter the box the louder the exhaust. Does the same apply for bass sound in the the wider the box the deeper the bass sound from exhaust? Link to comment
fai17 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 You don't want a fat box. Too heavy! Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted October 19, 2012 Author Share Posted October 19, 2012 Off to meercat tomorrow for my new cat back :-) Link to comment
mctwistuk Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Big thanks to meercat for a great system. Think I may need a bung for winter starts lol. Link to comment
