Default Please help me decide which to buy!!!

Firstly I'm sorry to post a qustion which is always knocking around Scoobynet but I'm asking a fairly specific question so I have to ask!!

I have a standard 04 WRX Impreza with a Prodrive BB at present.

I NEED a deeper, louder exhaust note and from watching Youtube I have narrowed it down to the 3 below.

Afterburner Vortex
£246.99


Ninja rear silencer
£156.58


Ninja 2 Performance Rear Exhaust Silencer
£195.99

These prices are from Scoobyworlds site.

Can you good people please give me some input on the above 3 with any pro's or cons on any of them. With my car being standard will I expect any performance benefits from any of the above or will it purely be different sounds?

I really need help guys as I dont want to buy the wrong one and waste money buying another BB again!!

Many thanks in advance.

car will breath slightly better but no real diff with just a rear box do the deres centre and 3rd cat delete and it will sound awsome id go for the ninja 2

the vortex is awsome but is very loud and can drone abit on motorways ninja 1 poss a lil on the quite side but the 2 is slightly louder and in mho spot on for an everyday scoob. hth Grrig

Cheers mate thats the sort of answer I was after. So the Ninja 2 is a better (LOUDER!!!) exhaust than the 1st version then?

Any other input?

It sounds good that mate but I'm after something deeper sounding. A really deep burble. I dont even know if that possible from just a BB swap!!!

well mine is a custom made one and they can make whatever style and noise you like give them a call and tell them what you want and they will make it for you then that way you get exactly the style/noise you want.

Cheers guys. Does anyone know, or have first hand experience whether the Ninja two would be louder than my current Prodrive backbox?

It looks like I will have to decide between the Ninja 2 and the Vortex.....

I need to make myself clear in that I want a louder rumble than my PD but not bloody ridiculous!! I'm worried the Vortex may be too loud after you 1st post WRX SWRT

Blitz NurSpec S. Of all three it has the best deepest rumble, benefits from a 3" bore which connects to the OEM centre pipe at 2.5". On a par for noise with those you have listed but much much better IMHO.

To be honest I dont think I could live with the noise day to day of a Nur Spec. Thay are too loud for me. Thats why I need to decide on the above.

Cheers though mate.

afterburner vortex sounds really nice, you might also the downpipe and centre pipe to get more of a rumble
i have a downpipe from scoobyworld(ninja sports cat) if you interested
