Full decat? and it's not enough, wow. I thought it was too much, but i've got used to it now. The two you mention and the Blitz Nur Spec R are the louder ones.

I've got the TSL Typhoon fitted to mine and it sounds sweeeeeeeeet (neighbours don't think so). If your cars blue it looks the dogs dangles too.

Ahhh, that's why then. Are you planning on changing the downpipe?

I had mine all done at once and it is quite noisy. Maybe change the downpipe first and hear the noise before buying an even louder b/box?!

The Firestorm was WAY too loud for me (full decat) If thats what you want it certainly does the job. I kid you not I set four car alarms off on my street everytime I drove past. People were not happy.

I know what you mean. I'm still paying for the conversion. (Is it not payday yet?!?! )

If i knew i would sometime be changing the downpipe in the future, i'd stay with the B/box you've got. Rather than buying a louder one, then it being too loud and having to buy back another Ninja.

FYI:
£200 for a decat downpipe, £500 for a sportscat. But you'll have to wager in for a remap £650.
