Unhappy

I am currently driving a 2 month old MY03 WRX. I have upgraded the wheels to 18" gold P'drive 10 spokes. I can't afford the PPP just yet but I desperately need to improve the sound!! I can spend £300 on a different B/B. My mate has a Magnex B/B on a classic which sounds good, I fancy something different but at a similiar decibel level as I often have long motorway journeys to make. How does an afterburner compare for example? Please don't be frightened of insulting my intelligence(!) as I am very new to this world but I am keen to learn!

TSL Group N, Scoobysport or Heyward and Scott are sound like what you want. Firestorm and Afterburner are probably a bit loud for what you are after.

I have a TSL Group N with the 4" tail, looks nice and sounds dead sexy, fairly thumpy at low revs and a nice hum under boost

If you like the look of the Afterburner but dont want it too noisy Scoobyworld do a 'stealth' version which is quieter. I have the non stealth version which I am very happy with but I like exhausts loud!

we also do the Ninja which is a fair bit quieter than the Afterburner yet has the looks.

Ninja is the nuts! Not too loud on motorways, but loud enough around town. Boy they stop and look......NICE.

Wicked looks too. Best Buy!

I have the 6x4 Oval Magnex which gives a nice burble (well it did before the de-cat )

I just like the look of the oval better than the round ones, but there again I'm a bit of a *cough* Tart *cough*

Thanks for all your thoughts! I've thought of not much else for the last few days. The decision has been made at last!
I've decided to go for an afterburner, I really like the look of it & if it's to noisy on the motorway I can give it back to scoobyworld without losing too much!
