Default Which Backbox? I miss the universal rage!

I borrowed this universal rage back box off a friend whilst finding a new one. Having changed for a HKS silent power I'm now missing the sound! I haven't been any branded exhaust I like since! I want it nice and raspy and burbley but not too deep. I like the tone of the nur spec but its too loud!
Any suggestions? Here is what I'm missing!

Yeah, the nur spec although great I find too loud for every day use but the vortex is the happy medium between ear bleeding and sedate, its also more tuneful at higher revs than the nurspec.

You going to the meet tomorrow mate?
