Default Raptor exhaust

Opened my little gift from last week today to make sure everything was there and it looks like a very well put together system! have a feeling its going to be loud, decat and not center resonator

Can you hear it in the cabin? That's what I hate about the prodrive system also does it have a nice deep burble at idle ?

Thanks

Looks good mate. I have been toying with the idea of changing my vortex back box for a raptor 1. Do you think you could do a sound clip when you have fitted it, if its not to much trouble.

Matt.

Nice 1 mate, I look forward to hearing it soon. If it turns out as loud as a nur spec r then I might get 1 lol

I wanted a nurspec but finding 1 for under 300 is hard, I would pay brand new price if I know I'm going to like the sound, so with this I though its got to be as loud with no resonator box for half the price, was a gamble I was willing to take

If the vortex is anything to go by I would assume the raptor can only be an improvement.

I have the vortex catback on my hawk, sound level is just about right, lovely idle, ideal cruising burble, insane on WOT!!! If it was an everyday car it would get on my nipple hairs as it does drone with the de-res. god knows wot the decat sounds like. Get a vid up when it's fitted.

I was looking at the backbox-less afterburner a couple of months ago, yet to see some videos of that too.

Fitted mine today after receiving yesterday, must say much impressed, and that was replacing the vortex, much deeper note. And looks spot on

Sounds very nice mate, what model car is it? Wait for a couple of thou miles and it'll really find its tune. As much as I like the vortex the afterburners just get better.

Done any motorway cruising yet Dan?

I'm looking to change my PPP exhaust (purely because it looks as if some damage has been bodged between the centre section and downpipe) and I'd still like to be able to hold a conversation when cruising!

I don't mind it being a bit... charismatic on song or at idle though!

Oi, I'm only 26!

I forgot about the bung. To be honest, my "commute" is only 7miles - the motorway trips are few and far between so I reckon it shouldn't bother me anyway.
