afterburner vortex
 
I purchased myself a car back ninja II for my blobeye around 2 months ago but whilst it sounds great on idle it has literally no sound when driving around normally.

I'm now interested in the afterburner vortex, does anyone with a new age have this exhaust they could upload videos/pictures and give me feedback what its like?

I had a Blitz Nur spec before and that was beyond too loud! It also was more noise than a nice deep rumble which is what I'm looking for.

Thanks

great exhaust, looks very nice ,sounds great with a nice deep tone..can be loud with a full de cat though

Ooo that does look good - on scoobyworld they have a "straight exit" option and a normal option, which is yours?

I was planning to keep the 2.5" cat that I got with the Ninja II and just get the backbox.

Slight edit sorry - I actually meant I was interested in the Afterburner Vortex not Raptor, but not really sure if there is a huge difference?

powerwrx 25 April 2015 08:51 PM

mine was the angled Exit Afterburner Vortex...

angled exit has a better flow apparently

Matt_STi 25 April 2015 08:54 PM

OK great, reading between the vortex and raptor it appears the raptor gives a deeper tone but is a 5" exit which in my opinion is a bit OTT and requires the bumper to be cut slightly.

I think the Vortex might be a solid option.

Does yours give a nice rumble when driving around at 30mph for example? this is where mine is almost deadly silent!

powerwrx 25 April 2015 08:56 PM

I don't own that car anymore mate but yes it sounded very nice

Barxy 25 April 2015 09:28 PM

The bumper doesnt need cutting with the raptor?

If you have a diffuser you may need to trim that.

Matt_STi 25 April 2015 09:32 PM

No? How loud is the Raptor? What's the sound like when driving around?

riiidaa 25 April 2015 09:50 PM

i have vortex, it's plenty loud enough

Matt_STi 25 April 2015 09:58 PM

Can you take a pic of it on the car for me please? Would you say its got a good deep rumble when cruising around 30mph for example?

riiidaa 25 April 2015 10:46 PM

if you know Croydon / Purley - why not come listen for yourself, growls beyond 2600rpm

Barxy 25 April 2015 10:49 PM

Go on scoobyworlds website, click on the raptor and they have videos up of the sound

Whats wrong with ALL the videos on youtube?

Matt_STi 26 April 2015 09:26 AM

Youtube you say? What a brilliant idea, if only I've thought of that.

Oh wait, I did and have viewed them. But its YouTube and people put the camera halfway in the exhaust and the sound quality is terrible.

What's the harm in me requesting a new video?

Trinity 26 April 2015 10:03 AM

So this is bad sound quality?


and this one?


and the loads of others that are great quality?

Just buy an exhaust. Its an exhaust.

Trinity 26 April 2015 10:04 AM

Cant find a video with the camera half way in the exhaust either.

Big sparks 26 April 2015 11:17 AM

My vortex is spot on imo, running full decat it's plenty loud enough and a lovely deep rumble too ,

i will post 1 deffo, from what i heard the raptor would have been silly loud with a decat non res. I went with the vortex as i wanted it loud but not stupid loud. If its not loud enough il just sell it and but the raptor lol

Thank you everyone that isn't being a moody bitch like trinty. I'd suggest putting your tampon back in.

It'll be good to see what your views are when you have it fitted, especially when just pottering around town for example.

Big sparks 26 April 2015 12:01 PM

I think you'll be pretty happy with the vortex mate , round town it's ace , nothing ridiculous just a nice deep burble ;-)
