Redwinger · 05-01-2002, 11:52 AM

So, let me see, you want the noise pollution tickets?

My stromung is not really all that loud, but it produces loads of base. The force from the base trips alarms as I pass by. But it's not strong enough to set them off full.

I think Brullen makes a medium and loud exhaust that you might like.

I suspect the medium Brullen is comparable to the Stromung; can't say for sure though.

Of course, Scoobysport mufflers are supposed to sound like rally cars - real loud.

GTBGUY · 05-01-2002, 02:54 PM

Redwinger - for the Loud acoustic version of the RS cat-back, it's really close to the sound of the Scoobysport, but deeper in tone. The medium is fairly similar to the Stromung. The quiet is plain quiet (until you get on the throttle).

Redwinger · 05-01-2002, 04:02 PM

cool, so for affordable and loud i should go w/ the brullen loud. awsome now i have to work some more!

PPTough · 05-02-2002, 12:01 AM

Ok here is what you need.. I have it and I do set them off...alot. There not liking my car at work that much right now.

Borla headers, High flow cat, Midpipe and Duel or single tip Stromong.
The BIG part of being loud is the Cat and the Resonator.
They soke up ALOT of sound.
So if you want to be stupid loud keep this in mind.

Yebisu69 · 05-02-2002, 12:39 AM

Looks like I am a header and highflow cat away from being stuuuuupid loud.

Redwinger · 05-02-2002, 07:32 AM

alright, just looked at brullen, and to my knowlage they dont make exhaust for the MY02 RS. So stromung is looking better and better. Headers are sorta out of my price range. How much should i expect to spend on a high flow cat?

Elliot · 05-02-2002, 07:41 AM

jejejeje
You can always buy my Pro 1 rear section!!! It is too loud for my taste!! I have pictures just send me an email!!

Ziglabeu · 05-02-2002, 09:03 AM

Uhm, yeah. You see the date on the Brullen site? Around 2000, so don't expect any information on Scoobys there. Talk to GTBGUY, he will hook you up. They make everything for the '02 RS, I should hope so, because I have their complete header-back system.

Talk to GTBGUY (iON Performance) he's a great guy, and will hook you up. I thought about the Stromung, but then I got the Brullen and I'm in heaven

LordBass · 05-02-2002, 09:19 AM

Medium sound Brullen cat-back here.. Only rally cars ought to be louder than this.

i'll post this here and in the NESCIA forum, but does anyone live in the hartford area of CT that has brullen or stromung exhaust so i could hear it 1st hand? thanks

jdsimpreza · 05-02-2002, 01:43 PM

wassup guys, i currently have the greddy evolution exhaust and its very loud at low RPMS, and on the decel, but once i get to about 3500 RPM its silent and then i put the cobb tuning CAI in and that drowns out the exhaust from 3000 on. NOow im considering the brullen header and hi flow cat package, so you think shell get a lil louder, especially up top at higher RPMs? cause i love my intake but i wanna hear the grumble too!

MRX1911 · 05-02-2002, 03:16 PM

I have the Stromung dual pipe on mine and love it. It's not to loud at all but does set off sensitive car alarms. I'll be adding some Borla headers soon and I'm told that will increase the sound even more.

dRu888 · 05-02-2002, 03:54 PM

Apexi to set off the alarms

Redwinger · 05-02-2002, 04:19 PM

jdsimpreza how did you get that exhaust to fit your RS? did you have it modded by an exhaust shop? And Yes apexi is dope, but dont make exhaust for MY02 yet that makes me bitter.

Rally Performance · 05-02-2002, 04:43 PM

Just a note -

For "car alarm loud", well:

ScoobySport is known for having absolutely superb sound - but that doesnt mean its the LOUDEST

Its all about the sound quality. Some folks translate "awesome sound" into "loudest sound" but I would rate ours as quieter than the Stromung certainly.

red winger, the only difference between the 2000-2001 one exhaust and the new 2002 exhaust is the location of ONE out of the FOUR hangers. So i just threw it on and have 3 working hangers and one int hte wrong place, it works no problem.

Jejunum · 05-02-2002, 06:35 PM

does putting an aftermarket exhaust pose any risk? what i of course mean by this is can the dealer deny me warranty service on anything -

Redwinger · 05-02-2002, 07:04 PM

well boys i think we might have a new exhaust verryyyyyyyy soon! heres the email greddy sent back to me. Thanks for your interest in GReddy Products
Actually we have already made prototypes and it is now in our production cycle. Hopefully the first shipment should arrive very soon.
Please keep in touch with your favorite Authorized Greddy dealer for more updates. http://greddy.com/dealers/

Woohoo, now HOPEFULY what that does is make all the other companies, ie. blitz, tanabe, hks ect. make exhausts for us so as not to lose all their business to greddy.

Just a few more months and we're golden!

I asked and they said it'll only effect any repairs that would be needed on the exhaust only.
