Question

Right, I *will* be getting a downpipe soonish, probably after xmas, and I'm going for the scoobymania twindump.

so, what advantages/disadvantages will having one bring?

I'm pretty certain that when the downpipe goes on I'll be decatted, so that will effect things, non?

fuel economy worse or better (worse I guess due to more right foot abuse occuring )

kinda odd question to ask when I'm going to get one, but though I'd ask anyway

I had the ScoobyMania pipe on my old WRX and it made a massive difference. The car pulled much more strongly, sounded even better (grrrroooowwwl and lots of turbo noise), well worth getting and you'll be very happy with the ScoobyMania pipe.

Not only that but the car used to smell of jet fuel after a 'brisk' run (perhaps something to do with no cat...)

ta,
Matt

Barge,
who's fitting it? well, no-one cos I've not got it yet

When I do get it, probably after xmas, GDA Sports Car will be fitting it, as they look after my car for me, and are top, top chaps.
