Default Exhaust choice

Hey all, basically just after some reviews for exhausts which bring out the awesome scooby burble so far i think im set on the Afterburner Vortex, but my only worry is that it would drone too much on long journeys.

Car is currently standard (blob STi) and am only thinking of backbox at first to see how it sounds, if not too bad then will prob add a centre section as well

The prodrive back box is nice. Good Scooby burble but not over loud. I have a TSL group N on the back of my Hawkeye now and I am over the moon with it. Nice burble on normal driving but on boost sounds great :-).
No cats but original resonated section - all 2.5"

I've got a Ninja 2 back box and have run it for nearly 2 years now and gotta say it ticks all the boxes for me.

I have the prodrive. Fully catted etc. Nice sound, but a liitle soft for my liking. I'm hoping a single decat will give it just a little "life"

Personally you won't go wrong with a ninja 2 , nice rumble on tickover and not to loud when on a long journey. Sold mine for an afterburner vortex and no regrets. . If you buy a bung for the vortex then it is as loud as a STD prodrive backbox - no droning and quite driveable if kept off boost.

the blitz nur spec is a cracker plus it comes with a baffle you can pop in the end if your going on a long journey

this is a supra, but it shows the difference baffle in and out
