exhaust noice levels (prodrive vs. stromung vs. scoobysport)
i've been looking arround for a quiet aftermarket exhaust for my '03 WRX, and i've narrowed it down to these three choices: stromung, prodrive, and scoobysport. i'd like to hear from people who have one of the three installed with regards to a) how loud the exhaust is b) how it sounds, and c) what sort of performance gains if any were seen.
my critera for a final decision is pretty simple. i want a quiet exhaust that won't bug my neighbors, make my car stand out (it's got to be stealthy for various reasons), and doesn't sound like my engine is exhaling through a kazoo. after that, i want the best performance i can get within those sound limits.

ive heard the prodrive and stromung. scoobysport, ive only heard online.
prodrive seems a tad quiet. it sounds a little deeper than stock. performance im not too sure about
stromung sounds mean. ive heard it on a 2.5 rs, and boy is it mean. my friend didnt notice much gains.
scoobysport sounds lovely. (well at least thats what i got from the download) its low deep, and very very aggressive. from their website they say there are gains. but i read some reviews from some people saying that they didnt notice much gains.
i personally would go for scoobysport. if you are willing to wait for like half a year, they are the best sounding. IMHO. they have had the most experience with imprezas.

Love my Stromung...
Not too loud. I have the Stromung dual tip axle back with the TurboXS Stealth system: 4" catless downpipe, high flow cat, and mid-pipe. I don't believe you will see a signifigant hp gains from a axle back only. Cat back you will. Turbo back you definitly will.
This system is on my wagon. A signifigant factor for in cabin sound.
I had a Bozz perfomace catless turbo back system for two weeks. In my wagon, between 2900 and 4k rpm, there was an umbearable droning. It sounded mean around town, but was hell long distance. I sold it to a buddy with a sedan and it's night and day. The back seats seal the trunk off.
Stronmung is just right for me. Much nicer tone than stock.(no rice) Very nice looking as well. All polished stainless. Very clean (no coffee can)
When you really get on it, you know its there.
The TXS downpipe is nice cause you get to hear the turbo wind up.

I am is the same boat dropkick_muppet, but here is what I found on Turbomagazine.com
See if it synches up to what you have heard. It looks like greddy is the quietest. There is only a 7 dbl increase in noise, but a 10 hp gain.
Let me know if you get real stats on the systems you are looking at.

i found the same info when i was initially looking for exhaust noise levels, and it didn't help me much because i wasn't interested in any of the Japanese exhausts since most of them either a) have a huge tip and look silly or b) are way too loud.
in the end, i've pretty much decided to go with ScoobySport. they give dBa levels on their website that are within the legal limits, and from what i've heard they sound pretty good when you get on the loud pedal.

i have a stromung and it rocks! i drove all the way to florida and back from NY for spring break and it didn't once get annoying. it has a create low rumble when idling and it never gets to high pitched under throttle, only louder. also it really accents the flat 4 sound.
besides its sound it looks almost stock if you get the double tip one. i took my car in for an oil change and they but notes down about my intake but not the muffler. if you have **** dealers or cops around you, then it will definitely help keep it stealthy, not to mention if you race.
either way its really inexpensive and very very nice. i would recommend it.

If you just want an axleback I'd check with your local muffler shop. They could custom-fit a Magnaflow muffler (which is what TurboXS and Vishnu both use) with whatever tip you want. You would get a nice deep sound and probably a few hp for cheaper than the options you are considering.

I got the Hayward and Scott cat back system. For those that dont know they used to make the scoobysport system befor they changed manufactures to janspeed.
The system is such high quality. Everything is stainless, even teh hangers! IT bolted right in, 4 bolts, no hacking anything. Went right into the stock hangers, took all of 20 minuts witha jack stands in my budies drive way.
My car(o4 sadan) is stock besides the exhaust. The system is not loud, and does not drone on the highway. It has an extreamly beefy sound, it gurgels and slurps, and rebreaths with anger...realy sexy sound!
The system uses a 2.5 pipe, which helps generate torq and lowend power.... which is waht all scooby guys want....
I could not be happyer with my choice. A little expensive, but you get what you pay for.... I got a rally exhaust made by guys that have been doing it for a long time.
The system is such high quality. Everything is stainless, even teh hangers! IT bolted right in, 4 bolts, no hacking anything. Went right into the stock hangers, took all of 20 minuts witha jack stands in my budies drive way.
My car(o4 sadan) is stock besides the exhaust. The system is not loud, and does not drone on the highway. It has an extreamly beefy sound, it gurgels and slurps, and rebreaths with anger...realy sexy sound!
The system uses a 2.5 pipe, which helps generate torq and lowend power.... which is waht all scooby guys want....

Noproblem.
The SS system is very stelth in that it sits under the car like the stock unit did. It does not hang down, or have an obnoxiuos looking 4' tip.
It has a nice looking 3' chrome tip, and a deep tone.
If your looking for that Hong Kong rice boy style then this is not the setup for you. If you perfer function over anything else...this is the exhaust for your scooby......
