Title: BCS cat back noise ?
Post by: lambera on January 27, 2015, 07:08:27 pm
So I am currently debating whether to get a BCS cat back system for my ED30 mated to my scorpion decat downpipe. I have read all the reviews and so on and know a lot of people off here go to them. I want a system that is loudish, sounds great on boost and gives mince dsg farts but not much drone if that is possible, from videos I have watched the bcs system does not seem much louder than my decat downpipe now, maybe it is just me. I was considering going to KMS to have a cat back made which would be non res with one box in it.
Could anyone tell me what the BCS sounds like thanks  :happy2:

My BCS catback and standard downpipe with pre-cat delete sounds bassy. Not in-your-face loud but deep and bassy. Deep enough to make people look around to see what is coming and deep enough to get people saying how nice the car sounds. I can be sat inside the house and 'feel' the car pull up outside the house.
IMO you can't really appreciate the noise from the online videos, you need to hear one in person to really appreciate it.   :evilgrin:

Yeah I have watched some of the videos but they are not that good. Plus it always sounds different in person (usually better) .

I can testify that they sound good in person, I heard Dan's old Edition 30 straight after he'd had his BCS powervalve fitted and it sounded beautiful on full chat.

How's the R going Dan? I'm thinking of getting a Mk7 R later in the year  :party:
