Default Backbox not loud enough!!

I fitted an afterburner vortex backbox...but it just isnt loud enough...

Yes, there it brings out the burble when idling, and when you step on it...but it just isnt loud enough...i mean I can barely even hear it when going through tunnels...yet people said that this is the loudest back box available???!!

Was thinking of getting a custom made one like powerflow or exhaustuk.com, any views on this??

sorry, but not sure what that is
But had the backbox fitted at garage when they lowered my car, they just unbolted the old one then put the new one on, if that helps

The resonated/non resonated pipe is the pipe the backbox joins to, if you look at it, it may have hmmmmmmmmm how to desribe it...

What resembles a cat, about half way down it, if this is the case it is resonated and robbing you of your burble

Get a wagon. I can hear my car loud enough. In fact, I've given up having the CD on.
