View Full Version : Piper 3 inch back box onto a brand new standard silenced centre section.

I have had my 2002 VTR a couple of months now. Just had it lowered 50mm now looking for a new exhaust.

When I bought the car it had a brand new standard exhaust fitted. With this in mind I think I would prefere to save money and buy just a back box.

I have the piper 3 inch inwardly rolled back box in mind, about £135

Do you think it would have a good sound to it? I am definately not looking for anything loud, just something with a bit of a buzz. Or do you think I would be better off paying the extra £125 for a full system?

Thnaks for your time.

You can do it in sections mate. Get the backbox first, if you don't think that has enough grunt get the unsilenced centre section.

Plenty of time mate, I have to put my engine head back on, get the fuel lines, brake vacuum servo pipe, throttle position sensor and remap done before FCS and I think I will be able to do that :)

Nah sorry it's the full Piper with piper stainless centre section with silencer, Would only sell it as one including a decat pipe too...

It's the 3" or 3.5" inwardly rolled

Identical to this one ::: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CITROEN-SAXO-1-4-1-6-VTR-01-03-PIPER-CAT-BACK-EXHAUST-/110532777884?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19bc44579c#ht_1817wt_907

But I'll include an undercar decat pipe too :)

Have a gander underneath your car first dude, it might be a straight through welded system, if so the backbox won't fit, from past experiences of witnessing the sound of a Piper, i would personally go for a.. Supersprint straight through centre pipe to a 3" outward roll piper backbox, sounds awesome to be fair and with de-cat you'll love it even more :).

i love piper as i've got one :p i think it sounds sweet specially when you decat and straight through supersprint. also the 3.5" seems 2 fit in the recess pretty good, i've seen a 3" and imo i think it dont suit, but most people like the 2"
