Got a vortex on my Uk Turbo and it really brings the Flat 4 beat to life.
Gives a great rumble on tick-over and when pootling around town. On full boost, I have yet to hear a better engine note....well except the V10 in the Gallardo!

I dont think the newage scoobs ever sound as deep/loud as the classics (same exhausts)
I had the ninja and i felt it was fairly quiet....the full system didnt help either!
I then went for the vortex which has satisfied my needs
As for the firestorm, it looks good, has a good rep, is cheaper and i believe is similar in sound to the vortex.

Hope this helps

Firestorm was bloody very loud on mine with full decat. Set car alarms off as I went down the street. Lasted two months before it came off and was sold.
