New backbox required


Recommended Posts

Looks like the standard one is on it's way out. So I will have to spend my hard earned cash on a new one face-icon-small-sad.gif i hate paying VAT!

Anyway suggestions are welcomed for a "quiet" replacement for my 99 UK wagon. Something fitting for my "Stealth scoob" concept.

I've got a Jasma backbox and decat centre. 5" tail pipe, so not stealth looks, but not too noisy (slightly quieter than the scoobysport that replaced it)

A few dinks and scrapes. Not expecting much for it...

Thanks for that guys. My problem with ebay is that I don't know what I am bidding for. Subaru aftermarkets are not known for their sound-deadening qualities are they face-icon-small-happy.gif

I need it to be quiet enough to do the occasional road rally and to be honest i don't like a loud exhaust for day to day. If I want loud I start up the Pug!

I'd strongly recommend a standard P1/STi back box if you can pick one up 2nd hand. It's only a fraction louder than the standard twin pea shooter, but then again it gives only a fraction more power (if any). You'll need to get one from a 92 - 00 car though, as the 01 onwards cars have a slightly different fitting I believe.

Lots of people here will have one of the above sitting in their loft/garage gathering dust. Alternatively, go for another standard replacement, which dozens of members on here might have sitting in their garage. Most of them get given away for free/pint of beer/assistance with something or other, but the most I've seen one sold for was about £25 for a standard one, and £50 for an STi/P1 version.
