I have but due to poor recordings and speakers you don't get a real feel for them

I have a cat back Blitz nur spec and I love it, to me it really gives off the proper sound of what a subaru should sound like.

It is very loud though, I don't know anything about the vortex so not sure if its loud or not, but people will certainly hear you coming with the Blitz.

Are you sure that you can cope with the noise?

The initial 'Wow' feelings are soon replaced with 'Why'.

Very true, think I lasted about 4months then it just became a nuisance.

I have to agree I have a straight through system with only silencer being a genome backbox on my twinscroll and it sounds superb but the noise on boost is very loud and now thinking of adding another silencer.

Well I wouldn't want either of you for a neighbour, that's for sure!

The team ice is bloody ridiculous for a road car exhaust.

I have a catback with afternburner raptor and I had a Ninja on originally. Raptor is significantly louder and there is cabin drone from the exhaust but its my weekend toy so it doesn't bother me. I have been meaning to get a video clip for a while!

If you want loud and can cope with Team Ice levels (much louder than an Afterburner Vortex or Nur Spec), then go for a Cobrasport Race Tube.

****!

When you say you have a prodrive exhaust, is that the full system including the sports cat or just a backbox? I ask because I had the full system on my hawk and it was a perfect combination not to noisy but had a great note.

I've had the Vortex and the Blitz and the Blitz is a lot louder.
