Buddy club


Freebird

Recommended Posts

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 B) 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)

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.

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

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... :yahoo: (may have been my intention all along :blush: )

 

Cheers guys

I had a Buddy Club and it was lovely, just don't expect it to ever be quiet or stop vibrating... :headhurt::surrender:

With the Bungs out the sound is just immense, the whole cabin resonates.... when you drop off the gas you get an orgasmic burble :cloud9:

 

Trouble is after a few weeks driving around you will need ear protectors :bose:

 

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 :wheelchair:

Exactly what im looking for :p 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 :D
