Hello Mate

This is mine its a cobra 3" backbox with 5" tailpipe,but i am fully de-catted so its way louder than it would be on your standard system.

cheers mate, sounds nice :)
yeh tryin to just work out what will be loudest on the set up iv got!

They drive you nuts in the end, so bare this in mind

I had a 5zigen on my old car which was fooking loud, sounded fantastic but go on a 150-200 trip up the motorway and my back seat passangers would be pleading for me to stop, you couldn't have a conversation with someone in the passenger seat. I ended adding extra sound deadening and driving with the window open an inch to stop the droning

afterburner vortex all day long you wont be disappointed :thumb:

ok for short trips out to work,shops etc,but for longer journeys buy some ear plugs

dan 05jdm sti

just buy a blitz nur spec r

for which one? or u mean both in general?

Tis only gonna be a backbox for now remember...

LOL im pretty hardcore with what i can cope with....

had my last car for years which was stripped our, rock solid suspension, harnesses and a 4 branch decat exhaust.......lotsa people said it would drive them mad but i loved it haha.
The scooby feels like a luxury cruiser in comparison lol....

the Cobra is LOUD

I had one on mine when I bought it and removed it after a few weeks as it was too much for me as a daily driver

got a Hayward & Scott now, much better

was it a full system/cat-back/backbox??

Why do people look for the loudest exhaust they can? Does it make them cool?

i have a fully decated system with vortex afterburner car back its not that loud on idle but when u pull away it gets loud then when u open her up it can give u a headache but i love it :)

Havent said i WANT the loudest one tho ;)
Just simply trying to work out which one will be louder as a point of interest.

But just as a point of reference....having the louder one makes you infinitely cooler!!!!! haha, jokes :)

I went for the Blitz one on my last classic Scoob due to...

The sound quality
Deepness of the rumble
Build quality
Nice 4.5" tailpipe
Visual looks

IMHO anything bigger on a classic looks too big :nono:

3" - 4.5" is plenty big enough.

Iv ordered a cobra backbox today by the way, looking forward to seeing what i think to it

Gone for a 4.5" slash cut
3" bore
up and out angle
:)

Shame as my cobra back box is now up for sale! Would have sorted you out on a good deal.

Why did you go for a 3" bore ? :)

im interested in it mate?

i also have one of them on mine , 5zigen 3" straight through to turbo, sounds awesome

this is the same as i have got 5zigen fireball

its 3" tapered down to 2.5" flange

doh! thats a shame, iv been checking the for sale thread lately and hadnt seen anything cropping up, sods law eh!

Only that will cost you some torque going 3" rather than 2.5. It will sound deeper...ish but you'll notice a loss without remapping.

The Millteks sound great. Not v loud though! ;)

ah right i see, well its only a back box, so only a pretty small section right at the end of the system which will be fractionally larger bore, ill bear that in mind when the time comes to change the centre pipe as well though. The rest of my exhaust is bog standard.

Ok cool I though it was cat back :thumb:

I'll drop you a pm. :thumb:

don't know what the cobra sounds like but I've just had the Turbo back decat Afterburner system installed with the Afterburner Vortex. The sound is incredible, not too bad on the motorway at 70mph. Definitely a head turner.
