You should have done your research before you purchased. It's not as loud as a BPM twister exhaust. Why on earth did you buy it first, then ask if it would be too loud?
Damn Tuca, you do throw caution to the wind. I have been listeing to sound files on all the exhausts I was interested in for about a month before I made a decision. You go and buy an exhausst without even hearing it.

When the page opens, it plays a sound file of the Scooby. I think that it is a pretty loud exhaust, but you be the judge.

I brought this back to topic cause i think when i was researching this the answers were not clear..
Some people claim the Scooby Sport is not loud at all..They say that at iddle is very smooth ,,but louder at WOT..
I have a DB meter so i can measure my stock exhaust and i will measure the Scooby Sport as i get it in my car =)
I have done a lot of search but i finally got the Scooby Sport because i live in Brazil,,the Exhaust is very expensive,,and a friend of mine had one installed at his 2001 Sedan WRX and he will sell me out very cheap =)
Thats why i bought it..
Why some people say the Scooby Sport is not close as loud as the Blitz,,Skunk2,BPM,HKS..
Wich oen of those of the good ones is quieter???
I really dont think the SS is this loud if its not at full throtle..
Thanks

Tuca,
Turbo mag did a comparison of exhausts for the WRX. Unfortuantely the Scooby Sport wasn't in there. If want you want to see the results, they have been posted on this board.

I'm running the ScoobySport muffler and it has a great tone. Loud, hell I don't know (or care) it sounds great!

Did you follow that link I provided and listen to the sound file? If you did then you have an idea of what the exhaust sounds like. I would suggest that you try to find a WRX club in your area. Surely there is someone there who has the exhaust so you can listen to it firsthand.
But really, what does it matter if you find out what it sounds like now? You are going to get it for what sounds like a good deal. Just put the exhaust on your car and try it out. If you don't like it you can just do what your friend did - sell it.
Perceptions of loudness has nothing to do with ingesting drugs and everything to do with subjective opinion.neurotic said:I dunno what everyones smokin that claims its loud
My Blitz is loud though.
If I am deaf, then none of these exhausts are loud to me. If I am trying to keep my car from getting pulled over and ticketed, then I have to be worried about what the authorities consider loud.
The only objective measurement of loudness is db measurements done at a consistent distance from the pipe, like what was done in Turbo mag. Other than comparing objective measurements of volume, any discussion of what is loud or not is only like arguing over what color a person likes, "I like blue." "Well, I like white, and all people who like blue must be smoking something."
Not really that helpful.
I just put one on my car 3 days ago. MAN DOES IT RIP . It's not that loud, but it has some hella bass to it, especially at low rpms. I like setting off my neighbor's ricey car alams with it. At highway speed it's very quiet. But it kicks ass on the street. People ask me if I have a V8 under my hood. Big difference between this one and my former STi exhaust.

Gathering varieties of different exhausts "down here" is about impossible. There aren't dealers for all of the different brands, so if you want something different, you import it yourself. $$$ As for the sound clip, that was probably recorded with the microphone about an inch from the tailpipe. The recording of Cobb exhaust that I have (that I put the camera about a foot from the pipe) sounds just about the same volume. On clips, you can sometimes tell the differences of tonal qualities, but not volume. All are relative to the distance between the tip and the mic.
Tuca, from what I recall about the power you're going to be needing for your car to be racing it, I imagine that you will be swapping out to a 3" exhaust down the road. I will likely get a Scoobysport because it seems to be geared towards more mild upgrades for uselful power on the street. If you are still going to be racing the car, I don't see that the volume differences will be enough to be a problem for you. Then again, your plans could have changed. I know mine change often.

No,,i have a Steet car,,not a race car..
Thats why i dont want it very loud.
I bought the 2.5" system because people claim less lag and a Wider powerband.
I think my next mods will be samco hoses on the way,UTEC,VF34 or PE1818,PE fuel pump and STI injectors..
And i forgot to mention the NOS Kit.
And i will have a Scooby catless exhaust.NO CATS.
Thanks

Sorry, I must have confused something. I was thinking it was you in Brazil that was stripping out the interior and was going to do some endurance racing. My bad. Anyway, I understand what you're saying. It's hard to get good audio samples to compare them all. I wish that somebody would make audio samples at a meet or something. That way, you get the same quality mic from the same distance, etc to really compare them. Agreed? There's no club here to get a gathering, but maybe if I get out to a rally.
