Hi chaps,
I'm looking for a new or used backbox for my 06 Hawk WRX. Open on style. Looking for a nice sound rather than be the bane of my neighbours. Open on £.

Much obliged

 

You thought about Prodrive bud?

 

Just had a look. Looks good. Might have to invest in that!

 

I have a pro drive backbox on my Hawkeye its a decent looking im just working on decat centre and downpipe to give it a bit more life. Im after more rumble also but not that much that it annoys the neighbours.

 

I would recommend getting a Afterburner vortex backbox, its also a popular choice and you get a much nicer burble and rumble compared to the Prodrive (had one before the afterburner) and its not stupid loud. I've got a blob wrx fully decat with a resonated centre pipe and sounds great and very sensible.

 

Sounds worth a look. Assuming you don't have to remap if you just change the backbox? Do you know if you need to remap if you replace back box and centre pipe?

 

I wanted to upgrade my Prodrive as I wasn't entirely happy with sound (personal opinion) and the afterburner vortex has been spot on, I love it.

No remap needed if changing centre pipe (resonated or straight) and backbox, as your sticking to the stock 2.5" diameter of piping

 

Forgot to mention, there are various clips on YouTube for the afterburner vortex. Will give you an idea if its the sound you want.

 

If your planning to decat it I would keep the Prodrive on it sounds great with no motorway drone

 

got a prodrive sports cat here if your interested?
