Bought a 97 UK 5dr (Dog!) Mica Blue and I bloody well love it. I have read many posts over the last couple of years on this site and now I can see what you lot are on about. I have bought this car as a second and or for the wife to use for work, but after today’s blat to work she can have the Merc, that’s 5 times the value and 5 times less fun!

Right some questions, I reckon I got a great deal for this car I bought it Privately Full Sub Serv Hist, only 43k and is mint, just got Cam belt and oil service 2 weeks ago by main agent, new 2000 spec alloys and paid the guy, lets just say it starts with a "6". The stuff I was looking at of this standard was 8-9+k. What do ya think?

I had a TT a couple of years ago, 280 bhp pretty well sorted used the TT Forum (whom used to slate this site) but this STD UK car feel instantly better!

What exhaust(back Box) gives the best Burble/£ nothing too Max Power something just a little better.

Welcome to the world of scoobs and empty pockets...

As or exhausts it used to be either Prodrive WR Sport via dealers - burbles but not too drastic and warranty keeping option if you still had / wanted it, and Scoobysport which was the only alternative - "louder" and freeer flowing.

Now it seems every man and his dog are having exhaust systems made up (see some of the banner ads from people like TSL, Scoobysport, Scoobymania, Scoobyworld, Performance-exhausts etc.) to cater for all tastes (or lack of taste )

Things like Afterburners, Blitz NUR-spec and other can be fecking loud and it depends upon what you want / can bear and how you value your neighbours . Link these to a partial / full decat and you can have a quicker spooling turbo with wailing banshee effects thrown in...

Plus, once you've started on the mods, there's always that bit extra / further...

Probably the best idea is to get along to a meet and have a listen to the various combinations and judge for yourself (both in and out of the car) - have a look in the regional sections for info.

Magnex is a pretty comfy level for noise in a wagon.

I had one at first, and it sounded great.
Now on a firestorm, with de-cat, and it's a tad too loud for a wagon.

Magnex looks great too.

read the posts, the scoobysport exhaust is excellent and sounds awesome without beint too loud inside, you wont be dissapointed, cal

Got a Scorpion mid section and back box. Sounds great windows down. Not intrusive for long journeys though.

PS. Get to the doctors right away for immunisation. The 'Modding' bug is a virulent strain picked up from Scoobynet.

Enjoy, and welcome.

Based upon my experience of exhaust mods on my wagon, if you want to keep it quiet inside, and also not too loud outside, but adds a nice note, either get the PPP fitted by the dealer (or WRE sport backbox as it's the same but oval tail pipe, or better still the current generation Scoobysport (Janspeed) back box.

I've tried, H&S scoobysport backbox, older TSL backbox, and Magnex backbox, and all of these boomed inside the car at 3000RPM (motorway cruising speed) so were rather difficult to live with.

I now have Decat downpipe, P1 centre section, and PPP backbox, and the car is near silent when on small throttle openings or motorway cruise, but gets quiet vocal when on WOT, which for me was exactly what I wanted.
