As above really, i new to the saxo world. I wondering are these known as fast for a saxo?

Also im looking into getting a exhaust system but cant find the right setup, as the 1.4 on a 2000 mk2 which i have show that the cat is in the centre pipe where i have the cat which is in the downpipe and has a straight through centre pipe.

Are these furios worth spending decent money on them?


Thanx much apreciated

Yeh sure they are if you like it mate.

Get a Piper 4-1 Manifold, use your Center Section and get a nice Backbox, Janspeed are kool. Or a Universal one but you'll either have to weld or make your own connection up... Pretty simple job :) :fcuk:

I had a furio for a year, it was very very nippy, if you shed a few pounds by removing the rear seats, and stripping out thendoor cards and such, thy are very nippy! With a nice 4-2-1 or 4-1 manifold you will notice a difference and as for a cat, get rid! Go for a scorpion saxsport. The 3" looks the best because it has that oem look! But the 2" sounds the best, has a lovely rasp and does the same as the 3", couple that's with a new panel filter, or an enclosed air box like a BCM CDA or raceland ram air system with a green cotton filter your looking at good power gains with out spending massive money! If your interested in spending a fair bit of money, I recomend inbreeding in wider wheels as well and top notch suspension as well, set up wright a furio can Handel amazing and round a track they can be very suprising! There not a vts though... I love my vts! :)

and another benefit youll have... insurance group 5, so pretty cheap
and you can just wack a vts lump in it.. and have a fast car and cheap insurance if you wanted to be naughty

Yeah, i have a furio. Fairly brisk for a 1.4. But a saxo is a saxo. So later you can just fit a vts engine, uprate as you wish. check my thread
