I have searched for a little while to answer this question but I can't find anything definite. Will a sportex 3" backbox fit on to a standard centre section of a mark 2 saxo VTR?

also does anyone have any videos of how just the backbox sounds with the standard system and any pics of how it hangs?

I'll say as ive had a 3" sportex not on a Saxo though. they're noisy but sound alright personally.

Did you get one of these in the end bud? just considering one but worried about how it'd sit in recess

Mine can be seen on my pictures, it fits perfectly into the recess. It is reasonably quiet, even at high revs. But definately noticable & cost me £20 so can grumble

i have one on my vtr, anyone who says its loud is talking crap, unless you have a decat then i wouldnt know, but i got a sportex and a cat, no middle silencer, and it not much louder than standard tbh, you know its there though, and 3" outward rolled looks spot on in the vt rear bumper imo :)

I also had one without the cat and it was really loud but a nice sound too. Mine sits at an angle out the rear bumper just to be different lol

got mine fitted now. its on a standard cat and standard centre sections, not too loud for long drives and sound spot on. it sits perfectly without bodging anything.
