the dragger is very restricive and very heavy inside the back box the pipe work is twisty so you loose the "straight through" flow of gases and i belive the bore gets smaller inside the rear can.

I have a HKS 409 Hiper on mine and that is loud on a single turbo, however i also had a hiper with a deccat pipe on my twin turbo FD and still it kicked out some volume.

If you want volume you want a racing system 3.5 or 4 inch bore but be careful this could casue boost spikes if you don't have a PFC or boost controller on the car, The TI HKS or Jic magic systmes are both very very good and sound incredible, of if price is an issue then the HKS 409 Hiper, Apex'i N1 or something like a second hand Kakimoto (not the one with 2 rear silencers although i'm told this still has a very nice pitch) system will do the job.

hope this helps :cheers

KSP, Racing Beat, Apexi N1, Blitz...usually the louder the system the more free flowing it is...

Try the Apexi GT, 3.75" all the way through to a small back box. Very free flowing with hardly any bends.

Just be prepaired for angry neighbours lol

if your changing the exhaust for a larger one well larger bore you should get it re mapped anyway because you could get boost spikes

I currently have a Super Drager on mine. The sound is actually quite nice and deep without being too loud. But other than the backbox it's mild steel, mine is the 3rd one I know off that's rusting through. The backbox is also absolutely huge...maybe 8/9" in diameter!

I'm replacing mine with a full SMB Exhausts system...3" stainless all the way through, 4" Titanium tip, metallic substrate convertor too :)
