Back Boxes

[el_gencer]

Ok, i'm considering getting a new back box. However i'm looking at the possibilites of getting something other than the hks ones that seems to be readily available. i know they good, i'm just after different name. just that so many have the hks boxes, i wanna be different when the time comes :)

So here's my list (its kinda short)

TRD

Toms

Apexi N1 Evolution

Blitz Nur S

All comments welcomed on the selection, such as good points (sound) and bad points (noise) and rough prices. Then maybe i can make my mind up and start saving.

The only one to get and its not on the list is Prolex-UK Back box :winky:

[el_gencer]

Is the prolex one really that good ?

[Colin P]

Ask 'Dave E' he'll give you a fair and un-biased view on the Prolex kit :D

:P see its not its RED,

:D :D

you might want to look at the Mongoose system - its a cat back for a similar price to the blitz back box...

[TheDon]

personaly i own a HKS hiper, and the reason that so many of us have it is because its the best of both worlds. Power and style. it also is good because it goes quiet when cruising at motorway speeds. Once in 6th gear you can barely hear it which compared to some other back boxes is a excelent feature.

Have seen and heard the prolex on and the quality is excelent, the note is just right and looks realy good. definately a good on to have!

Yeah, i do second that...

I have the Hiper, and its a nice burble at start up, and when accelerating it makes the most of the straight-six noise, without being as loud as to sound like the muppets in their saxos etc..

And i do a lot of motorway miles, and the best thing is, when cruising you wouldnt know it was there.....

[el_gencer]

I take it that the hi power slient replaced the hiper ? kinda confused thought as on the tdi web site it display this picture of the silent :-

TDI Hi Silent pic

and on the hks web page it looks like this :-

HKS Website Pic1

HKS Website Pic2

which one is it ? i'm only simple please help. :duh:

[TheDon]

the tdi link is the right one for the silent hi power.

If you just want the look and power of a HKS zorst then get it but you wont be getting any noise out of it tho!

[el_gencer]

thanks for the help guys, its a toss up between the blizt and hi-power slient at the mo. need to check to see how much my insurance goes up by. should be a laugh.

[LexMeisterGeneral]

Saw and heard a video clip of a JIC magic exhaust on is300.net very nice rumble and looked superb.

my insurance last year didnt change (cosmetic mod)

With this one, i think it makes about a tenner difference..

[el_gencer]

How loud is the blitz ? is it a bit louder or "more" louder than the standard is200 back box ? i want the performance increase, but at the same time dont wish to be badged as muppet with a loud exhaust system. ie the corsa, nova, saxo and astra boy racers types.

[Monster-Mat]

im still waiting for my Prolex one for the racecar

the sound you get with the HKS combined with the straight six is a smooth and elegant sound, nothing like the big rumble boxes on corsas.

It is a classy sound like a porche etc.

i have the blitz nur spec,very nice,thats a pic in my sig. :)

blimey, my hiper's really loud on the motorway, a bit like an old world war II bomber type sound!

[TheDon]

hmmm thats not good. mine has always been whisper quiet when cruising! have you checked to see if you still have any damping material left in there!!!

[Fidgits]

yeah, the only time i ever hear my Hiper on the motorway is when i take the flyover onto the M25... then its just a nice grumble...

[TheDon]

yeah, not saying its "quiet" but its not intrusive!

Definately lets you know its there when you put your foot down!
