Default Vortex back box

Anyone got one of these exhausts from scoobyworld? Would be interested to know if it is as good as they say.
Cheers

Hi there.

I've had an Afterburner Vortex for a while now, and I must say, it rocks! It's got such a nice, loud, noise when you idle the car, and when you hit the high revs on acceleration, wow, it growls loud and clear. Certainly a backbox to get if you want to get noticed

Hope this helps.
Jas.

hi there
i have the angled vortex with slightly resonated centre ( does not quiet it down much if at all!) with a hks d/pipe. The sound is deep and is great burble on tickover and when you accelerate by heck does it howl!!! lol!!!! well worth it, a top investment!

Performance side, not had rollin road yet but the engine revs alot more freely all the way through the revs, pops and bangs nicely due to full decat too!

another vote for the Vortex, great sound & great performance.
I have a full decat on mine If you live in a built up area its quite easy to drive the car upto 30mph without making too much noise, I've not had complaints from the neighbours when coming home at 2 or 3 am. Well worth the money

Another for Vortex.......amazing sound and looks.

Friend has the same exhaust plus vortex centre section, ive got vortex backbox but Scoobyclinic centre section.
Have to admit and m8 will agree too that mine is alot loader from inside car than his and only difference being centre section.

Want to go full decat but baby due in December im worried about noise level.

Give a nice deep sound at low revs and amazing on boost
