Best Backbox (official)
Hi All neewbie to the forum (1st post) i am about to pick up a 2007 STI 2.5 and I want to put a back box on thats, loud and emphazises the burble we all love, do you recon the vortex afterburner will hit the spot??
It definetley depends on the model of the car ,I have a neighbour who has a afterburner vortex on his 2.5 blob eye and it definetley is not as loud as the one on my classic. If you check out youtube the nur spec r on the P1 sounds great,but the vortex on ALL the newage models sounds crap imho.

Out of all the backboxes Ive heard, my Milek was the best. Subtle when driving about town, but made a lovely roar when you put the foot down. Perfect on the motorway too, could barely hear it, this was with a sports cat fitted.

When i had my scooby it had the original pea shotter exhaust on ,changed that to an sti back box,a little bit louder,then got a mint prodrive backbox had that fitted and car sounded ok .I then had it decatted and the prodrive did not sound any louder.Met a mate of mine who had a P1 with blitz(sounded awesome)and another mate had a 3inch hks on his wrx(loud).
I then bought an afterburner vortex and it was so loud that i ordered the bung to quieten it down. At 1st was almost embarraced to drive it as people would look round a 100 yds before you got to them. But now i love it ,on a 2 hour drive to london ,put the bung in and it is no louder than a honda civic ,and no cabin drone at all.
Take the bung out and the noise is sweet on tickover and roars when you give it some( heaven probably sounds something like this - i hope)
