Sportex back box?

[Saxo_Walton]

Im thinking of fitting a sportex back box but i have a question or to before deciding.
Have any of you guys used one? what did it sound like and would it pop when de-accelerating?
Cheers guys

I've had a few of these on different cars, all have popped when backing off the throttle, had one on my 1.1 saxo back when I was 17 and it constantly popped and banged off throttle. But also worth noting is that every sportex box I had droned like mad and anything over a 20min drive would leave me with a banging headache lol god knows why I kept buyin them, probably because they were very cheap! There are nicer sounding exhausts out there but depends what noise your after, personally jetex are all I would have on a car now other than standard exhaust.

they're very loud, have a sportex back box on a standard system with cat. sounded nice but like ccr89 said anything over a 20 minute journey starts getting unbearable. now have a full miltek exhaust and it sounds amazing when accelerating but silent when cruising on a motorway.

Well i havent actually bought it yet just watching it on ebay and might make a bid or 2, can't really moan if i get it cheap, i want a nice deep tone when driving and a nice rumble when idle and also want the pops when coming off the acelerator.
If i did get the sportex it would be getting fitted to a full standard system for now...I suppose if i dont like it i could sell it on and change it

[ccr89]

yeh its worth a try out if you only do short journeys and want a loud exhaust but if you use your car for longer journeys on a regular basis then think carefully as might just be a hassle taking it straight off again lol (or keep earplugs in the car for those journeys)

[Saxo_Walton]

ill aquire some sound cancelling head phones haha.
Atm i dont do any long journey's so im safe there.....atleast for now

[MartinObviously]

man up, get the whole sportex race tube from the mani back :P

I got sportex 4" backbox with decat sounds good.

[Saxo_Walton]

Lol Martin, i would get the whole lot done but funds are low and what if i dont like it in the end? id have to piss about taking it all off then sell it to get another lol.
I think the sportex im looking at is a 2.5" rolled tip

[Saxo_Walton]

Danny, would you put a vid up of your exhaust sound please?

[Dany4494]

At work mate will later.

[Saxo_Walton]

[Saxo_Walton]

Ive messaged the guy selling asking if it would fit but he hasn't replied yet, maybe someone here can tell me?

I will more than likely go for a bid, it would be rude not to haha.
Music i can do :) fitted myself a nice head unit the other day!

Not a bad price, i got mine new for about £100 including postage, and that was a 4". Maybe check out the price of new ones, that way you'll know it fits, and it'll be new..

[Prickle]

They're nothing but noise tbh. 3" is loud enough.

Okay for what they cost but thats about it.

Thanks mate ill do that, i did have a very quick browse at the new ones that were the same as this one so with a bit of luck it will fit or atleast the seller will get back to me lol
