Hi Dave, glad your happy with it , it can seem really loud after a oe/ prodrive system , but after a week it will grow on you . Does the car feel any more/less responsive ??.

 

It does seem a quicker or is it the exhaust note that makes it seem quicker?
£200 well spent............Now whats next??

 

Full decat and bring the noise

 

Your link still working mate? Can't seem to access the page?

 

i am thinking gauges next.

 

tried to record the exhaust note on my phone...waste of time couldnt hear it.

 

is it much louder than the prodrive one pal??is your car wrx or an sti.

 

Let me know if these work...

It's a lot louder than a prodrive exhaust, should be a tad quieter than the prodrive backbox when you insert the bung.

 

yes its louder but very nice sound...

 

i wont be bothering with a bung sounds ok to me.

 

Okay got it this time mate thanks for sharing the videos, yep sounds great !! so just to confirm this is the Vortex afterburner backbox and the afterburner deresonated centre section - yep ?

whats the noise like in the car with the deres centre ??

 

i have just put a couple of pics on my page its the second album still working on the sounds.

 

Great comparison vids, it is significantly louder isn't it!

 

Tell you what thou ,seems very quiet on tick over :-)

 

Glad you like it buddy. It's time for mine to get swapped. If I go decat and swap for a prodrive back box will this give me a little more noise than standard. Or should I be looking for example a ninja 2 or a miltek?? what do you guys think?

 

yes its the scoobyworld package, cost me an extra £20 for the straight exit and only had to wait an extra day to be delivered as they make the straights to order.

I have been told that the 2.5l cars are a bit quicker than the 2.0l so may have to take that into consideration.

As for cabin noise... It is noticeable, but depends what you, yourself would consider too noisy etc... Me personally i like the rumble so it doesnt bother me. I drove to birmingham the other day and after an hour or so it still didnt bother me plus the road noise drowns it out a bit. With music on a sensible level you dont notice it at all.

Put your foot down and its an entirely different story.

I would attempt an in cabin video but not to sure it would have good enough quality to bring to reality with my poopy camera phone.

Plus i dont have a phone holder... ill see what i can do....

 

hmmmm, ive just got a race pipe with a vortex style burnt 4.5 cut on the end, i wonder if that will be loud, fully de-cated to, i shall see tomorow when i go to the mechanics place! lol

 

recieved my vortex bb today,just a quick question for anyone that has had one fitted is it a straight forward fit to a 2003 sti prodrive??qaulity looks pretty good to me,also should i have got a bung with the exhaust?getting it fitted tmorra night.

 

Yes it is a straight forward fit to all Scoobs before 2005, the bung does not come as std. It did on the ninja 2 oddly enough which is not as loud as the vortex.
Scoobyworld sell them for about £25.00

 

thanks for the heads up pal,just thinking i should of bought a new gasket for it,hopefully the old one isnt too bad.

 

I had wondered what bb would be in between Prodrive and Vortex for noise. Are there any others? Think the vortex would be too loud for me.

 

Opt for a ninja 2 imho ,prodrive backbox even fully decatted is not loud.ninja 2 not ott and a nice bassy note on tickover and a really nice growl when you open it up. I never used the bung once while I had the ninja 2,can't say that with the vortex . I had a miltek system a few weeks ago and dispite being 3' it was too quiet for me. Nice sound when your giving it plenty ,but quiet on tickover . It was fitted for a day then the vortex was back on again .
It might also be worth looking at some revolution & cobra sports systems which also get good reviews on this site.

 

Its been fitted for a week now..Louder than my Prodrive but not too loud..Happy Days
