Default Best (i.e. best noise) backbox to use with standard exhaust?

For old shape turbo with standard dp and centre section. Thinking of British manufacture rather than the naughty but nice (and expensive) Jap products. A comparative top five or whatever would be useful, e.g.

1. loudest - vortex?
2.
3.
4.
5. quietest - standard

Power Engineering T75 sounds really good and it has twin outlets not the one huge bean can that most have.

Full H&S decat system...lovely sound/build quality and apparently on idle it sounds like a Chinnok helicopter.Not too loud when cruising @70 mph either.

I know you do not really want a jap style exhaust (too expensive), but why not go for a second hand afterburner by hayward and scott. Mine sounds f*cking brilliant (well when the f*cking car is running it does.) The looks of disgust you get off people is brilliant.
