go for a piper back box they sound awesome, not too loud when crusing but then when you give it some well it sounds wicked.
depending on whether you buy a universal exhaust or a direct fit one will determine fitting costs, a direct fit one should only cost a max of one hours labour so about £35-45. a universal one may require modifications to the piper work etc so the price may be more

sound is different to noise!
theres a nice note which isnt loud, and then theres a badger with the shits.

imo magnex boxs are the best loooking backbox for the saxo, but if you want noise theres no point going for a magnex really, go for a piper as said. also have a go and fit it your self mate.

no theyre not.. a sound is a note, a good sound does not mean lots of noise!!
Noise is totally different to a good sound......;)

its a discriptive word.
same as note.
Noise is a sound, but in terms of a discription lots of noise doesnt mean a good sound.

blah blah blah :p
got to ask yourelf one question, who give a fook :p :y:

if you can understand my comment, im saying that LOTS OF NOISE doesnt allways mean a good sound to the exhaust..
a silent note can have a better sound that one which just makes lots of noise
its just something im trying to explain as alot of people purchase stuff from reading words differently.

sound noise same to me, i couldnt car really
alll im saying is a magnex backbox isnt that loud and thats what the lad wants, a piper is a lot louder, ask hessy he swapped with cloud as he wanted a quieter exhaust

imo its a persons preference as to whether or not a sound is a sound or just a noise, you might not think some exhausts are not very nice sounding, pred might think differently, another person might think different pred. its all to do with personal opinion.
Back on topic if you want a 'loud' exhaust dont go for a magnex backbox.
