Backbox for my 1.1, what do you reccomend?

[Mcinabout]

Hey guys,

Right im looking for a backbox for my 1.1, im to sure what do go for as i know its noly a 1.1 and it wont make much difference performance wise,but its for looks etc. just to get some ideas, what have people had on there 1.1's which arent too loud but are better than standard?

what brand?what size?

My mate said go for a powerflow(Pooflow) but ive heard mixed reviews about them so im not sure.

Pic of my car so you will see what its going on:

Just lower it and dont bother with the exhaust

Yeah i was thinking of doing that and no bothering with an exhaust.. hopefully im going to get glossy black bumpstrips etc in a few months too:y:

2" supersprint sticking out would look good :)

[dankzy]

you could go for sportex if you dont want a to expensive one since it only a 1.1, think there £100 there a video with a 1.1 with a sportex on here

Cheers guys, im not sure what i want to do with exhaust weather to leave t how it is or would adding an exhaust make it sound lame, im deffo lowering it sometime.

I was thinking that size, nothing more as itll just look/sound stupid imo. Ill have a look on Kam once the sites up and running properley again:y:

[JamesR]

No, a 3" sportex is £87? Where did you get £100 from lol

And 2" supersprints look good on flat arches but also sound awsome :)

i dont think id want to get much bigger than 2" tbh, some people may think different. anyone got any pics of Supersprints 2" on a flatarch? Also say if i got a backbox, would i need to get anything aswell so it fits properley, any sections needed?

[JamesR]

John_G had one, have a search for his 1.1 progress thread, looked good from what i can remember and they stick out at a slight angle which looks awsome, and you will be able to get the SS backbox to fit the standard centre section iirc :)

Okay thats cool,ill have a search and see, tbh not too keen on exhausts that sit as an angle:/but ill have a look anyway,cheers mate.

Kam Racing 3" would be another great choice!

Cheers for you input in good to hear, i know what yo mean, my bruv has always had aftermarket exhausts and now on his DC5 hes just got a spoon backbox and its loud and if im motorway driving itll just annoy me i think, and tbh i like the rear bumper as it is so i dont really wanan cut it up put an exhaust into it. A few people have said just lower it and i think i will just do it and dont worry about adding a bacbox:y: Hopefully other little changes will happen,visual:y:

Cheers

deffo the right choice mate. i drove to gloucester today. 4" rocket launcher backbox. popping flames and screaming. people were looking like i was a complete div, i agree with them. at least im going back to standard, early morning starts and motorway driving is a nightmare.

my bumper is cut up and now i need to either make a decision on putting a vtr kit on my 1.1 or buy a standard 1.1 bumper,

btw i brought the car with the rocket launcher and cut up bumper :(

Oh right yeah i think im gonna keep it how it is and hopefully it look mint still:y: Nah dont VT kit it,keep it a flat arch man, alot of people put a VT kit on theres, but i like the look of flatarches when there flatties. Should have come and shown me the car whilst you passed lol, just of J7 M5:y:

[greeny1]

dont got to big mate i had a 4inch piper back box on my 1.1 and like matty says it jus get on ur nerves lol and then ull totally go off it

[Mcinabout]

Ive made my mind up im gonna keep it as it is:y: i think i would get annoyed with it tbh epesh when i go up the motorway etc and its just there annoying the hell out of me:n: i think itll look cleaner without one too:y:

[TraV]

why not just buy a cover for like £15 then it looks nicer but u aint spent tons of money on one...

Also i was thinking exhaust but i dno either it will be the last thing i do if i do it at all.

[sam2kk8]

very clean car, go low :)

[greeny1]

yh man gd choice keep it stock for now :)

[Mcinabout]

Yeah exhaust i staying how it is:y: Nah i hate those covers, mufflers are whatever they are called, my exhaust is hidden behind the bumper so its all good.

[Dave-B]

I would Reccomend a 3" sportex mate, i have the same car as you and it sounds mint for a 1.1.
It sounds quite when your inside the car but from the outside its nice a raspy

[Tom5190]

get a custom box so it stays hidden but sounds like what ever you want it to

[Mcinabout]

Yeah i did think of having a custom one,,not sure but i wont dcide just yet as i want to get other things done, but could be a possilbity for the future:y:

[tinytim6666]

i was goin to say get a custom 1 then you can have it hidden or looking mint.
im also being very carefully on wat exhaust as i dont want to cut mine up so buying wheels instead lol
sorry for the hijack
get it lowered then think about it.

[sickpuppy]

i've seen a backbox for a 1.1 called a "sniper" for £75 on e-bay.Anyone else heard of them?

[Little-Butch]

Any Videos of a Supersprint on a 1.1?

Yeah im still not sure on exhaust tbh, in two minds lol. Yeah im hopefully gonna get it lowered when the weather is better:y: Having a few interior things done for this weekend. Then hopefully ill get it lowered and bumpstrips in glossy black when the weather is better:y:

[JAGVTS]

lower the bad boy :)

[Mcinabout]

lower the bad boy :)

He will be lowered in a few months hopefully;)

[tinytim6666]

sounds good pal
im sending mine off the scorpion as i know the owner so getting a custom pipe made up close to the saxsport. il let you know the outcome

[scott-e-]

keep the standard backbox and just decat it thats what iv done to mine sounds realy good its got a lil rasp to it in the mid ranges, and its not loud when your on the motor way plus you get to keep the clean bumper, iv vt kitted my flat arch but modded the 1.1 bumpers to have a nice fitt, ill post a vid if your interested?

[Little-Butch]

I did wonder what a standard backbox would sound like with no cat, be Interesting to see a video mate?

[moxy89]

standard VT one ?? cheap look better not to big for a 1,1 and wont increase your insurance

[Mcinabout]

Yeah i was thinking about a standard VT one, tbh if i do chnage the exhaust,itll be one of the last things i do, but thanks for all your ideas and comments:y: Ill have to see what happens.

[Scottysaxofaulko]

i would have one just don't go to big :) cuz then it looks weak (Y)

[javalencia]

Bought a 4" Peco backbox for my 1.1, it looked acceptable at the time but sounded really boring after a while. Imo Supersprint look and sound the best for a 1.1, anything over 3" doesn't suit the car in my opinion but its all personal choice
:y:
