I've heard the Firestorm is dead loud.
The Ninja was nice, plenty of dugga and dead angry when on WOT. Still not that deep noise though. (Don't know whether that is because it's only 2.5")
Guy in the village has an afterburner, sounds quite loud, but don't know if that's a full decat or just backbox.
Why not give the new 3" afterburner a go?

I wouldnt mind seeing some views on this either. I have heard that the nur spec full system is VERY loud but not sure how loud the back box would be on its own

I have a SW Racebox with a decat. Sounds like a scoob should. It was good with just the BB and the deresonated centre, but the decat has made the tone much deeper.
Best of all, it's not the loud "gimmicky" sound you sometimes hear.

Group Buy on a H&S straight exit 4.5" would be the best value at the moment.
H&S make the Afterburner and personally I can't hear much difference.
Afterburner £249 - 269

Firestorm £225-245

Sound quality is poor, so you'll need to turn the volume up

thanks alot 53WRX ... this is turning into a good thread.. atleast anyone who is debating on which exhaust system to use can refer to this thread and see a few samples to help them decide. ill get a sound clip of my 06 STI with de-resonated section and TSL Group N Back Box tomorrow and stick it on here anyone else who can stick a sound clip or video of their exhaust system in action on here would be great!

Blitz NüR Spec R for me too, the build quality is second to none and comes with a bung should you wish to use it. Also I had alignment issues with the Afterburner on my PPP equipped MY05 WRX...

I will be able to get you one tomorrow at some point I reckon mate.
Could do it now but I think my fellow employees would be round if I did that!
Are you just after getting a backbox though or a system from the cat back?
Just saying that as mine sounds a bit more 'beefed up' due to replacing the centre section with the Afterburner silenced centre section as well.
Basically the exhaust gives a deep rumble/burble on tickover which is pretty mean sounding, my favourite sound is between 1-3K revs when pulling off and changing gear, its a nice deep sounding tone with that famous burble. When over 3-3.5K revs it sounds sublime!
You really wouldn't be disappointed with it mate, when I had it installed on my STi in the garage I smiled to myself for about 2 minutes while I told the mechanic to give it some revs.
