It is much louder than any of the 3 backboxes you have named, and when the bung is inserted , it sounds as loud as a prodrive system - very subtle. Personally I think the bung is a really good idea ,because you at least have an option how loud your exhaust will be, so you could still use your car to attend a funeral, then the next day be hammering round a track.

so is it much louder even on gentle driving without the bung?

Without the bung gives a nice deep rumble on tickover and a nice roar when you start giving it plenty .
And yes the afterburner vortex is louder than the ninja2

vortex is maybe slightly louder, bit of a different note due to the vortex baffle

Think it depends on supporting exhaust mods. I have a sports cat downpipe, decat mid, RESONATED centre and ninja2 bb, its nice around town, but motorway runs..... dear oh dear it gets painfull!

i have one from the 2nd cat pipe de catted, centre section and back box. I sometimes don't think it's loud enough but i have got used to it.
I think it's a good option for people not wanting something that will upset the neighbors or give you a head ache.
I do about an hour of motorway driving per day below 3,000 revs it is quiet above it picks up a big but not too loud unless your foot is nailed to the ground.
Is the ninja 2 passable for track day regs?

Why would you buy a poor mans Nur Spec S, when you have the thinking mans STi Back Box ? A better option, if you have to, would be the H&S Original Scooby Sport, subtle understated yet quality burble. I will try and do a clip of it on my wagon.
