filtee 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Well, i won a scorpion backbox last week on ebay. It arrived and i couldnt wait to get it on so i did and it looks gash and sounds ridiculous. Ive been driving as slow as possible to keep the revs down cos it just sounds stupid. Nice when on full chat but normal driving is no good. It does need refitting properly as i couldnt push it onto the centre pipe enough so it sticks out too much. I think i may have cured the clunking though which i thought was rear axle bushes. I dont recall hearing it in the short drive i went on so the old exhaust must have been close to something. So, i now have 2 back boxes for sale though this wont be available until i find another. The one i took off is a powerflow universal job that had been welded on. If anyones interested give me a shout. £10 plus postage for the powerflow and ill advertise this one when its off. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 How does it sound gash mate? Just wondering as I have the same backbox but the cat back section aswell, it can sound a bit boomy at certain revs but it doesn't sound shite, it increases the nice VR warble and is a nice deep tone, on full throttle it sounds better than, I dunno, a lion?

Biggazvr6 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I have six branch, full decat, 2.5" bore pipe and one box. Mine doesn't sound gash. Almost r32 esq so I've been told. It's fairly boomy inside but that doesn't bother me in the slightest! Link to post Share on other sites
filtee 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 It's just too loud. Ive put a supersprint middle box delete/centre pipe on too and its too much. Before i bid on it i searched on the forums and loads of posts came up saying theyre a loud box. I cant imagine what it would be like with a 6 branch and decat too. Link to post Share on other sites
filtee 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 The only reason it looks poop is cos it sticks out so much.I know this can/will be sorted. It needs pushing on slightly further and will be done asap. Link to post Share on other sites
filtee 0 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Well, got it fitted slightly better as it was blowing a bit. Still stupidly loud but ive got used to it and quite like it. Only problem is im putting my foot down more cos of the sound. I really cant imagine what its gonna sound like when i get a 6 branch and de-cat. It sticks out 3 or 4 inches beyond the bumper which im not keen on but it will go under another couple of inches which ill do when i get the other bits. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I had to modify mine quite a bit to fit how I wanted it to, involved cutting and squeezing it about 2 or 3 inches further down the front end of the pipe Link to post Share on other sites
filtee 0 Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I'll probably end up doing that but once ive got a 6 branch and decat on. I want it so its pretty much flush with the bumper. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 yea thats how mine is now, and its good and solid in place, it doesnt shift or rotate on the centre section tail off at all. Ive double mikalor supra clamped it too Link to post Share on other sites
