Backbox's

[Stefan-furio]

Hey i made a simmilar threw a few days ago but too lazy to revive so created new one

Basically

Today i saw a 4" Piper backbox at halfords but have no idea if its worth getting it, will it sound good?

If not can anyone link me to a site were i can choose backbox's for around £100

The car i have is a "Citroen Saxo 1.4 furio"

Cheers =]

Sportex from online autosport 89.00 for the 3" sounds good on a furio as i have one

Is it loud mate? Not wanting to be a chav or anything just always loved "Loudish exhausts"

Ive heard there quiet with a sporty pop :/

The catback from Online Autosport is £150 and it will be pretty darn loud mate :)

Just the backbox isn't all that loud, and mine was £87 from the same place :)

On autosport website when i go on citroen do i go on Manifolds, Cat replacers, Tailboxes or full systems?

Sorry just abit clueless with cars :D

[Sparco_Tom]

full system or tailboxes is what your after.
I have brand new ashley competition exhaust systems forsale. Soooo much better than sportex £180 delivered

[Stefan-furio]

Too much mate, seen a 4" Sportex full system for £166

Thats the round one yeh?

Im looking at the jap style one

Hmm its upto you at the end of the day, but imo more than 3" looks a little stupid on a Saxo. Just my opinion though, its your car so its upto you, if you think it will look good then go for it :)

[Sparco_Tom]

i am agreed anything bigger than 3inch looks f****** stupid. Jap tips on a saxo are just ultimate chav imo

Suppose well ive never really seen either in person so i cant really compare, would need to go view some sizes somewhere so i know how big they are

But yeh i guess ill consider the smaller one

ahh i see, then dont really wana go for that then

Guess i'll stick with the 3"

[JamesR]

[Stefan-furio]

Can tell it sounded new? did it go alot nicer when it broke into it, was that just the backbox or the full system ?

[JamesR]

In that video its just the backbox, i now have the centre section and its twice as loud and a lot deaper. Havn't got a vid of that handy unfortunatly.

[jakeyboi]

ive a got sportex system on my westy, its sounds pretty good , not too loud in low rvs, but got a nice rasp to it when i put my foot down

[Sparco_Tom]

i didnt think these had any rasp at all? either when decatted

[JamesR]

Mine is a mixture, at low revs its a low boomy sound, put your foot down steadily and it gradually gets louder / more boomer. But put your foot down quickly and it sounds loud and raspy :)

[jakeyboi]

i aint got a cat or middle box , but does sound pretty raspy at like 4000rmp +

[Stefan-furio]

Hopefully it sounds like this

[Sparco_Tom]

see that video doesnt sound raspy at all

[saxokid100]

that video doesnt sound raspy at all matey...........:homme:

[planetrover]

look under your car if its 2000 or 2001 you wont need catback as you will have no box on the center section you would be wasting money for a straight through pipe that you already have

not waste of money it all to do about the bore of the tube what its made of ect , also dont mk2 have silencers aswell so a straight through will make a difference :y:

[Sparco_Tom]

like said above the bores are a different size so its not a waste
