Default Exhaust backbox wanted.

Anyone selling a backbox for a 2006 WRX Hawkeye. Currently got a WR prodrive on but the rebel in me wants a louder one. Looking for a Afterburner Vortex or Xtreme or anything similar with a 2.5 fitment.
Probably regret going loud but if I don't do it now I probably never will lol. Forgot to mention if to far away must be willing to post if possible.
Thanks for any help.

Just keep the standard back box incase you change your mind.

Good idea, I like the idea of going loud but I don't want to fall out with the neighbours etc lol. Just a thought can your car fail an MOT if your exhaust to loud?

I've got a rear box that's louder than a prodrive and a TSL GroupN but still reasonably quiet that I'd sell. I'm not sure exactly what it is to be honest but it made a pretty good noise without being obtrusive.

I think the 2.5 is a bit quieter though from reading around so it might not be loud enough for you. Happy to take photos etc. if you are interested.

Love the sound of a vortex especially in 3" fully decatted/de-resonated flavour
