Default Afterburner Raptor

I was just wondering if anyone had 1 of these on there Scoob and if so, are they much louder than the afterburner vortex?

My mate just put a raptor on his today and it's considerably louder than my ninja and that's before it's bedded in and coked up

I have a Ninja 2 on my car at the moment and it just isn't loud enough for me. Is your mates 1 running a full 3" or is it just the raptor backbox he has with the 2.5" centre section?

Yes he's got the centre section aswell, I would say it's about the same on tick over as the ninja but as soon as there's throttle it's a complete different sound, I've haven't heard above 3k revs tho

So his centre section is a 2.5"pipe and it's just the raptor backbox that's got the 3" pipe work then?

Also considering getting one of these. The vortex I had was great but too loud todt thing on the morning. At least the raptor comes with a bung, right?

Thanks for the clip Dan, on hearing yours it's put me in 2 minds now. How loud was the raptor compared to the nur spec? Also going buy the other clips on YouTube, I'm thinking the normal afterburner vortex sounds better.

In comparison the nur spec R is a lot quieter, but that might be as I was running a non resonated mid section with the raptor! If they had it as a straight out I would have kept it, but I feel angle exits are more for Nissan and Honda

I thought the angled exit was suppose to give you a little more bhp compared to the straight pipes.

took a few months,probably around 2000 miles,then it started popping and banging on throttle lift off
all depends what you want the car for,if its just a fun car then the raptor is great,awesome noise.
if you want it to commute/drive round town etc then no way.for me it was to much in the end.

Oh ok. Well my car is only really a weekend car so the noise wouldn't bother me at all.

Hey guys, my first post on this forum!

I have a Raptor fitted to my hawk WRX SL, its mated to the afterburner 2.5" centre section and a decat pipe, and it is damn LOUD! Sounds really good though. It is a bit much on a long journey but the supplied bung sorts that out and makes it a lot more bearable. I normally drive without the bung in, but I keep it in the boot along with an allen key so that I can pull over and wack it in when I need a bit of a break!
