Hi guys, any advice for a cat-back for my hawkeye? I don't want it to be as loud as a tank, just the true burble. Cheers

Try a search on youtube for comparisons. I like the subtle Prodrive one. At the other end of the scale theres the Blitz NUR Spec. Ninja and Afterburner Vortex are favourites on here. Take your pic

getting a decat down pipe gives u that burble and u hear the turbo whistle as well, ive got the afterburner exhaust, except for the back box which is scoobyworlds racebox which is pretty quiet up to 2k rpm, then it starts to sound loud, between 3 and 4k rpm it sounds nice, but above 5k rpm it screams and is very loud like a wailing banshee

biggest noise difference was getting a decat center pipe, but i think thats cos im sitting right above it

heres me being rev up ronnie with just the afterburner downpipe and racebox back box

The revolution system is quite nice- quite reserved where noise is concerned, and its one of the cheapest - and the best flowing! I have one on my Hawk STi.

The first thing to do is the centre pipe, getting rid of the resonated section, then its a case of how loud you want to go. I started off changing the standard box for a prodrive box, then decieded it wasn't loud enough so got a TSL Group n box, which sounded really nice - deep burble but not horrible to live with on motorways. Now i've just got an afterburner vortex centre section and rear box and it sounds awesome. The advantage is that it came with a removable bung, so it can be quietened down when it needs to be - not that i have used it for more than 5 minutes!.
