Default Ninja exhaust and cabin drone

It would seem that the Ninja on my wagon makes one of my children
feel a little sick on the motorway, and I beleive this may be due to cabin drone.

Obviously the wellfare of my lad is paramount !!

So, can anyone recommend a backbox which will eliminate or at least reduce
this to an acceptable level (Not the peashooter !!)

A Ninja backbox may well be for sale soon !

Thanks

Rob

Hmm, one of two solutions come to mind.

1) Swap lad for one less prone to car sickness
2) Get a WR sport, Magnex or Racebox (?) backbox (the latter available from Scoobyworld)

The third option involved a sharp screwdriver, the lad's ears and -most likely- a visit from the NSPCC

Ns04 (Definately NOT parent material!!)

A Prodrive box.
I have also tried the Ninja on my wagon and don't get on with it either.
I've gone back to the Prodrive box that came with the car and its just noisy enough but not annoying on motorways.
I have another round exit Prodrive box for Newage cars available if interested? PM me.

I have a scoobysport backbox that i want to change for a louder one so if interested id swap you for the ninja. There is no drone at motorway speeds with the scoobysport but you do get the burble at lower revs i just want far more noise. I love it.

Are you sure it's a Ninja !!

As for the downpipe, it's a garage job mate.
The bolts become corroded and are a complete barsteward to remove
and if they do come off it's normally because they have shearedm

I would consider it if it's in good condition mate.

The Ninja is not very old.

Do you have any pics ??
