I imagine it will depend on what exhaust system it is. My bugeye has a decat Miltek and is relatively quiet in my opinion.

My full decat Hawk runs a ninja back box
I tried at least 5-6 different tails till I found the sound ( not 2 loud ) I was looking for / this works for me , but every 1 has different tastes so all I can advise jake if you have a few m8's with Hawks , just trial & error till you find your pulse

I'm considering changing my back box bought one that sounds like a dam cannon, everyone always says they can hear me coming a mile off and it's got more pops than a freshly made bowl of coco pops

Put a miltek or revolution system on on it will be fine dude. LeeP has a decatted hawk running a miltek and its not daft at all, my last car had a full revolution system on and that was great too.

Lol ,,,my hawk sti is running a H&S down pipe and center with a vortex back box and its loud compared to my RCM on my Blobeye ,,,,just keep the back box exit a sensible size and it won't be to loud IMO

Mine is 06 STI decat with prodrive back box.
Not very loud IMO. Certainly not for a Subaru.
I know that some people like to draw attention to themselves, but I am not really interested in anything other than performance.

Another thing to add is that have you ever heard your car being driven by someone else ? It may sound louder or quieter than you think.

Yeah very true,

It's got a afterburner vortex fitted, I'm thinking of removing the centre pipe resonated section and keeping the downpipe cat.

I have a feeling the afterburner fully decat ted will be very loud.

Have a non resd vortex and 2nd cat delete and its borderline, stock with a cat back or if you want a full decat look for a quieter box
