sorry for the question im jsut wondering,
i have an exhaust on now with the car and everything and im wondering if i get a new exhaust but keep the cat, can i keep a normal centre section on and just buy a backbox for it like a kam raceing one? or will i need a new centre section?
im not fused on it being really loud jsut want a bit of a raspy sound and a pop now and again lmaoooo.
sorry for the noob question and thanks for the help.
(btw im going to look for a second hand one if i can find one)

thanks, adam :)

I very much doubt you will get pops and bangs from a 1.4. It will not be raspy with the cat in either.

Best system for rasp is Supersprint racebox with straight through Supersprint.

Yeah I know
It's hard to get an 8v to pop as much as a 16v.

My VTR popped a bit with my Piper exhaust on it, but only when it was very hot. Rarely popped flames too, if you look very closely in this video you will hear my excitement haha:

depending on what you keep standard, if you are keeping the cat, you are probably best with the supersprint race backbox (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-exhaust/exhaust-backbox/citroen-saxo-supersprint-race-backbox.html) as this is a smaller silencer diameter, but then our own brand one is a stainless steel backbox (http://www.kamracing.co.uk/index.php/citroen/citroen-saxo/saxo-exhaust/exhaust-backbox/kam-racing-stainless-steel-race-backbox-citroen-saxo.html) with a slightly larger tailpipe
