I'm no expert at all so I need advice. Any reason I should not put a bid in for this exhaust? Its just what I'm after an Afterburner vortex.

Please help guys, I'm crap at spotting problems!

New Age Afterburner Vortex Impreza Back Box on eBay, also Exhaust Components, Performance Tuning Parts, Car Tuning Styling, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 06-Mar-09 19:32:58 GMT)

P.S Has anyone got any pics of the straight exit type on their new age?

looks fine to me.

postage sounds a bit steep, but to be fair the last backboxes i send via royal mail were about this price so he's not taking the micky.

doesn't sound like he's going to spend the time sending it out in pristine condition, but that's about the only thing i'd say to expect. maybe mail him just to confirm there's no scratches and if it's the straight exit you're deffo after go for it

personally i prefer the angled exit, but then again i'm not buying it, lol

Cheers for the input mate. I had a feeling everyone would ignore this thread. If I can maybe get it for £100 that only £125 all in and thats a bargain if the exhaust is right.

I've messaged him on eBay asking what car it came off, approx mileage its done, what damage if any and why he's selling.

If all them boxes are ticked I'm in for it!!

Do you have the same exhaust hoskib?

Had this on my old Prodrive STi, sounded awesome!!! one of the best sounding in my opinion. mine was the angled version tho.

no, i've got a GeNome on mine.
i had an afterburner on my old classic though, very nice. little too loud with a full decat, but a great sound

what car do you have nathan?

lol you're right, some threads like this can go ignored for some reason. thought i'd jump in

Cheers Lee. Mine is a black blob too so that gives me a good idea of the look. They do sound awesome, i've been watching Youtube vids on exhausts for about 3 hours now!!

I have a blob WRX on a 2004 mate. As far as the sound goes at present the only performance mod I have is a Prodrive BB which is a little quiet for my liking. I did have concerns the Vortex would be too loud but as its only the BB I am replacing I'm hoping it will be just right!!

i'm sure that'll be ok on it's own not sure if the WRX and STI exhausts are the same, but i nearly bought a black 03 sti a few years back and that had an afterburner backbox only and that was fine.

i was driving my classic at the time so a bomb going off would have sounded quiet, but there was a big noise decrease on the STI.

worst case if you get it for sensible money it'll be easy enough to pass on an get one more tailored to your needs

hi

i have the angled one on my2003 wrx, sounds very nice with a full decat, though at times a little loud. Paid £100 off ebay

Think i would have prefered the straight exit looking back now.

Its off a 2006 Sti I'm being told.

Am I right in thinking that will fit straight on my 2004 WRX?
