Cool

Fitted yesterday, fabulous

Car now goes and sounds like a proper scooby

Pricey, but worth every penny IMHO.

Can't wait to drive home

Chris


And one for luck.

Yep,gotta agree with you....
Just for info,mine went on the rollers at Well Lane and made 262bhp and that's only with a full Scoobysport decat and ITG panel filter and only runnin on normal unleaded (As that's all my fuel card accepts!! )
Does yours smell quite fumey now though?

Cheers

What is the noise like?? Does it drown the stereo out dong motorway stuff. I really want to increase the BHP and make it sound better, but don't want to get a migrane every morning on the way to work?

We designed in a 2dB reduction in noise, compared to our old systems. It still makes a great sound, but there is much less noise bleed into the car and no droning.

Glad you like it Chris

Nick, once the oily finger prints have burnt off, you shouldn't have any smells. Get your installer to check that nothing has worked loose.

Nice figures

Austen,

It's not cheap, the full system consists of up-pipe, down-pipe, 2 piece centre, back box and CEL fix, check scoobysport for prices.

I bought the downpipe, centre and backbox off scoobynet. I'm pretty sure someone is advertising a full system in the For Sale section right now. Snap it up.

You'll also need to add fitting costs, its about a 3-4 hour job at approx 40-50 hour labour and some studs/sundries at appox £30.00, have a word with Pete Croney or Knowlsey at Scoobysport, they are very up front with costs and wont sting you for hidden extras after the work has been done.

Like I said before it's not cheap, but 30 odd BHP extra is a big increase in power which you'll definately notice. The car pulls harder in every gear and the turbo spools up quicker and kicks in just above 2.5K revs.

Most people believe it gives the same if not better performance gains compared to the PPP (and at half the price) but the PPP retains the warranty and the exhaust doesn't.


Cheers

Chris
