Get butler system, then sell your butler muffler. Buy Varex Cannon off ebay, do the wiring yourself or if you're not good with that stuff, take it to a autoelectrician to do it.

I had a full TBE with an oval muffler but then I got my hands on this varex, was 2nd hand and all I did was take it to a autosparky and he did the wiring for me for $50 if I recall correctly

You don't need to get a full x-force TBE.... only the muffler if you're keen on the quiet/loud controls

Like I said I haven't actually got any decent answers as to whether or not they are legal. Have a search around: http://www.google.com.au/search?sour...=varex+illegal (theres even a perth-wrx thread or 2 in that mix)

Hainsy; the answer to your questions can easily be answered if you do a simple search using the search bar above. Also with your spelling

There are plenty of simple performance mods you can make if power is what your chasing, if I were you first thing I would be doing is an exhaust which is what you have in mind then a cold air intake possibly ?

Utter lies.

Varex does not alter any emissions, it all still comes out the same exhaust pipe. It is pretty much the same systems as used in the HSV Bi-modal exhaust. It is just a muffler at the end of a pipe.

The reason workshops choose Norm Buttler's exhausts is they are a quality product. A full X-force TBE is just china crap to be honest. You could get Norm to build the exhaust up and then put a Varex (or any other brand you want) muffler on the end.

I had put the Varex muffler on my MY05 as I was sick of the noise in my neighbourhood. Loved it that much, I have one on my MY98 and will probably change out the exhaust on the Evo X later to dual Varex mufflers.

yes, nothing wrong with a varex, it does not affect emmissions.
