zeolite Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 How do they compare folks? I have heard the 2.5s don't burble like the 2.0s but I haven't paid any attention before but it may become relevant.
gus the bus Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Iain, from what i've heard they make no noise at all!!! but those that have put a centre section and BB on it does release it a good bit.
karps Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Very quiet. I just put a backbox on mine and it sounds a bit better. Now i need a centre section to release the full burble
lupuss Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Yes they are very quiet. I put a Prodrive WR Sport backbox on mine, and it's improved it no end - warranty friendly too...
lestippp Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 I test drove one of these a few weeks ago and the engine note was none descript but then I tested the Sti and the burble is definately there on it. Ultimately I bought a 2L Sti PPP and it sounds just about perfect IMHO!!
gus the bus Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Very quiet. I just put a backbox on mine and it sounds a bit better. Now i need a centre section to release the full burble I know where you can get one of those[]

RS Grant Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Karps, what backbox have you fitted to your car?? Cheers, Grant

duncan_mccormick Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 I had mine ppp and still hoover like so removed mid section and changed rear box to more a straight through, bit better but not there yet.....remove rest of cats I think! Anyone want a prodrive back box??

RS Grant Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 B16DMC... I'd be interested in the Prodrive Back Box (price dependant) as a quick solution before I make up my mind about what to go for long term. PM me with a price please mate. [] Afterburner will be pretty loud once you get a straight through centre on there I think Karps... [H] Cheers, Grant
frazer_gallagher Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 put a tsl motorsport pulse extraction exhaust on my spec d sounds much better and ok on motorways down for headers and intercooler on monday 385 bhp cant wait[]
zeolite Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 B16DMC I might be interested in the prodrive BB as well
duncan_mccormick Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Ok anyone wantin that Prodrive BB give me a call [07709756980] Open for hagglin!!
oletam Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I must say I was a bit dissapointed at first but it got better after fitting PPP. It is still quiet inside but today I heard it from outside for the first time when someone from S&S was taking it for minor adjustments. Dare I suggest that the real reason it is quieter is because of better?/increased sound proofing.
frazer_gallagher Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 lets face it, might be a bit quieter but it still turns the heads of all those boy racers in their souped up novas!
peter_macgowan Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Karps I have the Afterburner and centre section on my 2.5 STI the back box hits off the diffuser as well. After a few day of knocking I got a hacksaw and cut the corner off the diffuser. The afterburner and centre section make a nice loud burble when you out the foot down but suprisingly quiet when ticking over.
karps Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Dont need to cut the diffuser now its melted [:$] at least it dosen't knock now []
