Default Ninja.. Will it wake the neightbours??

Quick piece of advice please...

Got a wrx(bugeye) with PPP just now, going to replace the prodrive backbox with a ninja one....

As I start early every morning the wife is worried about the levels of noise...

How much extra comes off the Ninja V's Prodrive BB??

Any help before I fit on Tuesday would be great....

Thanks

Believe it's "middle ranking" in loudness, but hopefully somebody that has one will be along soon to confirm.........................

i used to have a ninja backbox, and afterburner decat centre/downpipe syste. it was loud, but mainly due to the downpipe and un-resonated centre sections.

backbox itself gives a lovely burble, and pending its not on a full decat system, will sound gorgeous, and only wake a few neighbours. in comparison on my new scoob (my99 uk turbo compared to old 95 wrx) i have a scoobybits 3" decat centre and backbox combination currently running the standard downpipe, and that is louder than the said previous full decat, so go figure lol.

get it, its sexy and **** the neighbours.

andy

p.s. need anymore help pm me, glad to help out

It is loud and yes the neighbours will hear it. Its what they do or say about it that matters! LOL.
Mine don't say anything to my face, but there are older folk around me and i bet they are slagging me off to each other.
And i dont get on with them all, (they block my garage access, but thats another rant) and yet they still aint said owt to my face.
So you want it, you buy it and enjoy it.
But i think it is middle in the loudness scale

If it's upsetting your neighbours don't go too loud - it will be illegal at some point - if they complain to the Police you're stuffed. cue ScoobyNet ad 'afterburner Vortex for sale'

I bought a bike with a 'race-can' on it - I knew it was loud but didn't think much of it - but new regs meant it failed the MoT & I had to put a baffle in...

With just the Ninja BB alone, it wont be bad at all.

It will defo get on your neighbours t!ts if you full decat and non-resonate too though. Been there done that, got the ear plugs to prove it

Ninja alone is a nice balance - luvverly burble, not monotonous at motorway speeds, an everyday exhaust system.

I had the prodrive exhaust then changed to a ninja but found that to quiet,you only need to worry if you have a vortex with a decat centre section

Lovely exhaust, I had one on my Wagon and it was'nt too bad.

I then fitted the de-cat downpipe and it got deeper.

With a de-cat centre, I should imagine it would be awsome/loud
