Question Prodrive WRX Muffler -- would you buy it again?

I am keen on getting a Prodrive muffler. I am an "old" guy who is concerned about drawing unwanted attention.

For you Prodrive muffler owners out there, would you buy it again after having lived with it for a while or would you say the extra volume is not great.

If you are in Ottawa, I would greatly appreciate you PMing me so we can arrange 5 minutes of your time for me to listen to it.

Sorry, I'm a little south of you. I have had my Prodrive for a year and a half and I still love it, and I get compliments on the sound and looks all the time while being low profile

I have the Prodrive Muffler in it, and I love it. It doesn't draw any attention, just little lower tone then the stock one,, however when you "give 'er" it does give a good note.. not too loud, not too soft.

I have a audio file of it too, if you want me to send it to you lemme know,

I've heard Spidey's.....Get it!! It really sounds awesome. I have one of the quietest turbobacks on the market (MRT) and the Prodrive is just a little bit quieter, but when you go WOT it has a great note that is definitely there. Looks and finish are top notch too IMHO.

Well you can't say that you're ever ingored here Ben. (wringing hands like a mad scientist... "one day, he'll get a new vehicle... one day... he'll part it out... heh heh heh.)

Your opinion seems to match up with other comments I have digged up -- people who own it seem to "love" it.

Thanks for the info guys.
