hi people,im after some opinions on rcm back boxes,ie quallity and sound wise. i know the team ice is LOUD but im not looking at having that on my car so i was thinking about the others. any advice and sound clips would be great

 

its not a genome!

 

i was expecting you to pop up with that matey

 

I have a full RCM system on my RA, its real discreet but apparent

Quality i'm suprised by the question.....

 

when you say discreet does that mean its quiet

 

I had a RCM backbox on for while, excellent quality but far too loud for me.
I`m used to something a bit more subtle and stuck my Prodrive box back on

 

well....it's quite but can be heard when driven in anger, plus you can hear all sorts of stuff going on through the system, turbo spool and the like....

The biggest issue i hate about my Scoob is the crass sound from the Blitz DV which is going very soon.....

 

I want an RCM backbox too meant to be one of the best on the market

 

what BB you got now mate

 

I just have the standard STi exhaust that comes with the Spec C nothing fancy and very quiet

 

ah ok,i was hoping it was a genome

 

couldnt tell you to be honest as i havent seen the rear pipe since ive had it let alone cleaned it it does have STi embossed on the side of it with pink lettering i think.One day i will clean it and know for sure

 

well if it looks like this then ill give you a few pennies for it

as i say i havent cleaned it since ive had it,and i havent got a replacement for it yet.The STi logo looks similar but i dont think it has the yellow bit under it.I'll have a look at the weekend im intrigued now

 

I considered a RCM backbox for my WRX, I phoned them up and they wanted £430 for the backbox fitted. I declined and went to Revolution and got a cat-back system for considerably less. They do look nice though.

 

Consider this if you are looking for a performance exhaust that isn't overly loud: Impreza Turbo 2006-2007 : Subaru Impreza Racebox Performance Exhaust System

 

RCM back boxes are made by Janspeed and the quality of steel/construction is very good

 

I had a full de-cat RCM system on my last scoob (03MY wrx ), was loud at revs but a lovely deep burble at tickover. When you really give it some it sounds like what can only be described as a HOWL !! Gorgeous. Very much recommended.

 

I have the full RCM system, with there normal backbox it was 98db @ 4k revs at the scooby shootout last year, just had the "teamice" tested @ 112db @ 4k revs

 

I'll get the normal backbox then i think unless you are thinking of selling the team ice Rob

 

I have to keep swapping between the two as i am doing some MSA sprints this year and your only allowed 106db
