exhaust systems advise

I am on the lookout for an exhaust system for my hawk, cat back only at the moment
are the exhaust systems inter changeable ? ie what system will fit my car ?
will the bugeye - blobeye  or classic system fit ?
also does the centre pipe have a cat in it??
cheers

Most systems are interchangeable think classics have an extra hanger  .
no cats in centre section

its all about personal choice which system you go for ...nurspec if you want loud or there's subtle ones aswell i had a Hayward and Scott on my bug sounded nice ..
there's bargains to be had so look everywhere

goodluck

Baldy, don't think it's an extra hanger, think it's just on the other way round.
The classic cat back system is slightly longer than the new age cars, so have to change out the full system if you buy a classic. All new age exhausts are the same and all interchangeable, there's plenty about so keep an eye out for the one you need.
Revolution / Jetex system is nice and subtle but bursts into life on full throttle. Nur Specs give me a headache after 15 mins

baldy's right, its all down to personal preference, i personally like the cobra sport exhausts
i got 1 on my classic and had 1 on my old vectra when i had that too

`so long as its stainless they all do just about the same thing give or take, being ss they never rot, main reason i have the full system on mine, im thinking manifold next inbetween saving for my wrx lol as onlhy got a little non turbo at the moment

I am wanting something noticeable but not nur spec loud.
I have seen cobra and toyo sports on ebay oh and prodrive back boxes

I was thinking prodrive backbox with a straight thru centre pipe? would that make a descent noise or would it be too loud ?

Team ice 1 you want mate lol.
Revolution is a good system.

how loud is the Revolution system mate?

Gave a nice burble on my wagon, sounded great on over run. Gave a good rumble lol. Not too loud and not quiet. It was just about rite. Depends how loud or quiet you want to go.

sounds like what I am looking for.
there is one on ebay at the mo but its a full decat system
I would imagine I would have to get a remap straight away after I fitted one ?

Not really mate, I'm sure there is a lot on here with a system on and no Map, myself included.

how loud would a full decat system sound ? the seller states revolution but then says unsure of make ?
he may be a member on nesf as he lives in ch-le-st ?

I have the full 3" revolution on my hawk and it has a nice burble on tick over not intrusive in the cab when you drive normally and then opens up when you boot it, I start work at 5.30am and needed something a bit less abso than the nurspec that was on my blob, and would advise a remap with a full system on a new age it will overboost and bring in fuel cut and put your ecu light on,

my cobra sport isnt that loud but if you put ya foot to the floor it will set off almost every car alarm in the immeduiate area but then again i have got decat in mine lol i got standard manifold @2.25 bore to stainless decat @2.25 bore then cobra sport straight through to tail pipe @2.5 bore so nice and low if you take it easy but sounds like youve angered the gods when you hoove it lol perfect for me, however my little boy loves it and sleeps in car all the time so not that loud inside as he only 17 month old, its down to preference at the end of the day

Go with revolution mate or look at some vids on YouTube and you can go by the sound of some. To get the most out of mine i need a silencer taken out my centre pipe as at the minute it sounds tinny

You can't go wrong with a prodrive back box and a straight through center, can be got cheap and not too loud but sounds fantastic on full chat!

Any exhaust from a bug or blobeye will also fit your hawkeye.

Classic back box will fit but the center won't

and my hayward and scott off the bug wagon went onto a classic

I am now torn between prodrive back box with straight thru centre pipe and the revolution full system hmmm

Yeah that's what I was saying, turbo back is fine, as Jonny said on first page, the centre of the classics are different to new age, so the tip sticks out too far. If you swapped turbo back systems, then yeah, would be fine, just that last hanger which is different? That's why TSL back box has removable hanger, so you can bolt it on facing left or right

the revolution full decat system on ebay is 3 inch.
would I be able to fit just the centre and tail pipes to my standard cat till I get her remapped?

No, it's slip joint. I've got the adapter in the house to let you do that tho if they haven't got it.

it looks like it has an adaptor on it , have asked the seller the question

is there any diff between the prodrive back box and the wrsport back box ?
I have seen both advertised on ebay but look the same ?

Gary Blake selling a TLSon here in for sale

The tsl is an awesome exhaust, if I wasn't at a 3" system I'd snap his hands off for it

Yes, prodrive has a round tip, WR sport is oval. You couldn't buy the Prodrive separate, it was part of the PPP upgrade, the WR sport is one you can buy from Subaru. No difference in sound
