I wanted the Scoob to sound like a proper scoob again - the 2.5's seem to have lost that trademark burble.

Didn't want anything to make your ears bleed, and didn't want a baked bean can stuck to the back of the car

Went for Hayward & Scott centre section (straight through, usually there's a huge silencer), and Backbox. Tailpipe is 4in but the rest is the standard size (2 or 2.5in?).

I wasn't expecting the difference to the characteristic of the car but Im' pleasantly surprised - the big surge on-boost is gone for a more progressive spool lower down. Means less gear changing and a smoother ride Sounds too

I wanted to do the fitting myself but found my girlie arms weren't strong enough to undo bolts so Chris did all the hard labour


Before:



After (flaps were fitted just before JAE):

 

Nice one Jo. You have managed to actually belittle all the work I did to fit it. Thanks.

 

lol

messing around and fitting exhausts is a pig at the best of times, I / me and my old man did 2 s2000s and 1 scoob. He said he wont do any more!

I never noticed much change in performance on the scoob on the bb and centre - BUT it is worth it for the noise every time.

Get those bloody cats out, then youll know what its all about (downpipe is the real trick)

 

Er how have I belittled it

I wasn't expecting such a big change its weird. It was fairly easy to fit (no I'm not belittling it!) It was a pig to undo some of the bolts, but at least the exhaust fit with no jiggling etc.

 

it was always the bolts with me, stiff as feck, took the older S, thats MLT to kwik fit to get them heating them up!

 

Jo, can you come and make mine as shiny as yours.

 

i always fancied a hayward and scott on my old scoob but eventually went for a scoobyclinic system on my blobeye.

i was always led to believe the loss of burble on the 2.5 engine is due to the use of equal length headers!

 

Yep its because of the headers being a different design.

An aftermarket system just accentautes the mild burble which is still there on the 2.5

I prefer the new sound.

I had HKS unequal lenght headers on my last scoob and it was a bit more rally rather than the really offbeat noise...

 

I can just see the post that's going to appear on milkmen.co.uk in the next few days...

"Check out this chavmobile that I see on my rounds....."

 

I remember talking to you at JAE anout it Jo! So you eneded up with the H&S? Fabulous craftsmanship, with a price tag to match!
