Can someone help a Newbie with exhaust choice?

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!

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!
