Default prodrive backbox advise

i have got a prodrive back box fitted to my bug eye. is it worth changing for a whole new cat back system or keep the backbox and just replace the middle section thanks guys

Is this just for noise only? I changed the centre section first and while it did make a difference and make it sound better it still wasn't loud enough, so in the end i bought an Afterburner vortex and it sounds just about right. This was on an 05 sti with only a sports cat though. I would think going straight to a Blitz or Vortex will give you the sound your after.

I had a WR Sport back box fitted to my Bugeye. I removed the resonator, fitted an straight pipe then fitted a de-cat down pipe. It sounded very good not too loaud but very good on a run.

Keep the burble alive

With a K & N panel filter and JDM STi fuel pump it was pushing 265 BHP once re-mapped The mod's cost less than a PPP but gave the same BHP but better torques

If your interested I have a Blue Prodrive Y Pipe for sale?
