Default Arterburner Vortex Backbox.

Thinking of getting one of these for my 02 STI to release a bit of that flat 4 rumble, had a look on the Scooby world site and they have a load of vids of it, but was wondering if that is bolted on to a full de cat system, as I will only be buying the back box, I was wondering do they sound nice and how loud they are? Also any views to the quality of them would be good, I am not really loking for much improvment in power as I have more than enough already!

Cheers John W

buy one you will not be upset with it, the sound is a lot nicer with one of these on, they are easy to fit, take your old one off, put new one on.

John - I have the Ninja on my Wagon, without a decatted centre and that
sounds fantastic.

The Vortex is even louder i believe.

The Ninja is a little more subdued, but gives a lovely deep rumble on tickover
and howls like a banshee at full chatt.

The Vortex is a little rawer in delivery, but still excellent

You won't use your radio once it's fitted !

I'd definitely go for the Vortex.....even the wife loves the sound of it.

Would a Vortex system be compatible with my 92 Legacy Turbo Estate?

Sorry, I don't know if it would. Perhaps someone may be able to help in one of the technical sections
