Freebird Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Following my single exit zorst thread the other day (and availability of stuff) I am thinking if I can find one for a decent price I am hugely tempted by the buddy club (i know its not a TD) but it looks and think it sounds awesome. Is £700 a good price for that system? It is Y back as far as i can tell (ebay seller) - Anyone on here source one cheaper? I had thought about a Scorpion system but i would require a new Y pipe too which would come to about £625 in total, and am i right in thinking that the BC one is better (being JDM and all that) EDIT: I also read that the scorpion isnt suitable for an import, how true is that? lol I think at some point I would also be interested at getting some decats but that can always come later. Another thought was to buy decats and a new Y pipe and leave the standard zorst for a while, no idea how that sounds though or if its worth it. (Looks like a fairly new OE back box) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dblock Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Scorpion will fit a JDM. Buddy club isnt that expensive consdoring as said its comes with a Y pipe. Ive heard its loud though. I ran a trueduel hks replica with decats and that was loud. I didnt mind it was silly loud but it was a very bassy note. Depends on what sound you want. Scorpion will be a little more refined but buddy club sounds a lot more raw. Try to hear a member that is close by with a k1 or buddy club.

Neilp Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Buddy club will make you lose your hearing. I love it though. I have scorpion with a nismo y-pipe and decats and I think it's a perfect combo. Sounds a bit German tbh but for the cash it was a good set up. If I could go back I would go for a buddy club which is cat back including y-pipe. Looks fantastic and sounds very jap car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Have you considered the Invidia N1 ? Loud plus cheaper than buddy club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is that not just a better version of the k1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Is that not just a better version of the k1? Pretty much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilscorp Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Have you looked at the DC sports true dual? Ive seen it for £640 it will be loud tho(I think due to small silencers) I have thought about buying it but with my decats it will be too much probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddles Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 @ Freebird Your price range is correct for the BC. I have a Buddy Club system and love it, the build quality is outstanding and I still get tingles everytime it goes past 3000rpm Sourced mine from Alex (Zmanalex) on here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I had a Buddy Club and it was lovely, just don't expect it to ever be quiet or stop vibrating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I think id probably prefer the Buddy Club for the bit extra in all honesty as its a proper Jap system. Im still looking with the intention of buying in the new year. And loud you say... (may have been my intention all along ) Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 I had a Buddy Club and it was lovely, just don't expect it to ever be quiet or stop vibrating... haha, its ok coming from a lotus built car i will be fine with some vibration At least it wont sound like my car is falling apart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 With the Bungs out the sound is just immense, the whole cabin resonates.... when you drop off the gas you get an orgasmic burble Trouble is after a few weeks driving around you will need ear protectors I loved it on short runs but you were always conspicuous and gave me headaches if I went for a long drive but I am no spring chicken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted December 9, 2011 Author Share Posted December 9, 2011 With the Bungs out the sound is just immense, the whole cabin resonates.... when you drop off the gas you get an orgasmic burble Exactly what im looking for I am a huge fan of tunnels too I used to have a near enough straight through system on my VX for best part of a year, that was probably the most illegally loud thing i have ever heard, never stuck the decat back in after my MOT but i missed it being that loud after. I have only found a couple of videos of the buddy club on a zed but its the kind of sound im after, definitely sounds jap and loud haha. Loud cars are not a problem for me after helping to build a handfull of skylines on the insane side of 1200bhp lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
