If my understanding is correct and there are enough in the group buy they will be sent out by H&S next week. I've been told i will probably be able to collect on Tuesday from Basildon.
As regards decating it depends on what your driving. The Classic has two Cats, one in the down pipe (that's the bit that comes from the turbo) and one in the centre section. The newer models have three Cats i think. By decatting the centre section you will notice a difference in power. By decating the down pipe an even bigger difference. The group buy price of £65 for the centre section represents excellent value for a quality product that is i think normally about £95. You will not be dissapointed.

I ordered mine yesterday and forgot to mention the group buy 
but I'm getting a box with 4" tailpipe so maybe it wasn't included anyway considering that the original subject was the 3.5" tail pipe.

I've already got a ScoobySport/H&S downpipe and rear BB.
Can I be included if I just want a Centre Section.
Am I right in think a straight through Centre is £65 and it is even possible to get a reonated for an Extra £75+VAT.
Very...Very...Interested if so....
I've currently just fitted a Resonated Janspeed Centre as I found an un-resonated Magnex too much after a while.
Noise Level of the resonated Janspeed is OK, but I don't like the fit/finish of it (not as good as H&S).
Please let me know ASAP

P@ul.....if you want that lovely deep flat four sound from your Scoob you will need to order the back box aswell. It's the back box that gives the 'dugga dugga' sound and the H&S b/b makes one of the nicest flat four rumbles...it is not OTT, just brings out the right notes. It's probably the most popular back box.
The centre section will just remove the centre cat and release more power...not give you the flat four beat. The decat down pipe will realease even more power.
Decatted down pipe,centre pipe and back box will give you about 30bhp more.
A Back box alone will give you only about 5 bhp more, but if it's the deep Scooby sound you want it's the back box you must get.
If you can only afford one and it's the sound you want get the b/b first.

P@ul.....forgot to say your wagon will have the two cats. Don't know anything about the Scorpion system, but Magnex is very good and popular. H&S is number one IMO.

Phoned and ordered my Decat/Resonated Centre Section this morning. Can't wait till Tuesday/Wednesday now when it's due to arrive.
For those that don't know the resonator IMHO just takes the edge off the noise levels.
It makes it similar in sound to running a decat DP, H&S Rear Box and standard Centre CAT. Although the restriction of the centre CAT obviousley no longer applies.
I ran with an Un-resonated Magnex centre for about 7 months, but after a quick exhaust swap for an MOT realised just how loud it was.
It's alright if you want to scare people when overtaking, but if you are a little self-conciouse and what it just that little bit quieter I recommend the resonated center.
(Currently running a Janspeed/Resonated Center, but want H&S to match the rest)

I've tried Magnex, ScoobySport (H&S), Prodrive and TSL backboxes.
Off all of them IMHO the Magnex was the poorest quality and was certainly the worst fit (altough there aare even worse out there).
It's a good box for the money, if your on a budget, but it did seem to hang alot lower especially the rear box. You could almost see over the top of the box when viewed from a following car.
The Magnex un-resonated centre was fine, but at the end of the day it is just a striaght bit of pipe.
I'm not sure what the normal price for a resonated H&S is but the the un-resonated is normally around £100 (along with alot of others i.e Scoobysport, ScoobyWorld, TSL etc..etc..).
Yesterday was the first I new that they did one. Hence why I jumped at the chance to get one in the group buy.

Pappasmurf has the right idea - MAKE SOME NOISE!! Although i wouldnt like to live next door - no offence. ***** why dont you give Ian a call - i'm sure he can give you an answer on all your questions but as far as Magnex versus H&S, in terms of quality from what i hear there is no comparison.
