If you mean Afterburner Vortex, they are the nuts.

I've got full decat system and I love it. Warning though - very very loud. Full afterburner decat system on a 2.5 wrx is very loud.

Seems good quality and I've never had a problem

Im intrigued to find out about this, i have been trying to decide whether or not to go for the backbox. As my 2006 sti is completely stock im am starting to crave more of the "grumble".

Can i literally swap the backboxes over? I get paid on friday and im off all week after perfect time for me to get underneath and make the swap

Apologies i dont want you to feel like ive hijacked your thread. Still saves making another one about the same thing

Yes you can it is as simple as that,should be 2 x 14mm nuts & bolts and a oval gasket. You just need to decide if you want the straight exit or the more preferred angled exit .

Also did i mention that they sound awesome

Hmmm. Can see me making enemies out of the neighbours here. I think i have to get the straight exit because of the rear diffuser on the hawkeye? It doesnt bother me as i wont be the one who has to look at it all the time.
