Default Best sounding bacbox?

currently have a KamRacing full system on my 16v but its not quite the sound i was hoping for, doesnt pop or bang and it isn't half as raspy as some of the saxo's i heard round the track at FCS. what are people's opinions on the best sounding backbox (coupled with a straight through pipe)? Is the supersprint any better? a lad local to me has a standard VTR other than induction kit and it sounds immense, always pops when decellerating but im not sure what backbox it is. looks like a smaller tail pipe than the kam racing....

Supersprints sound different to Kamracing something to do with the Kam backbox being shorter than the supersprint i think.

My superpsrint is raspy with foot down and pops quite a bit, so id say try that

Could try the Sportex 3" backbox with there "Race Tube" centre section, just the backbox on mine makes a nice pur when idling and sounds great under throttle

If it's a de-cat centre pipe it should pop. Have you still got a standard mani? Saxsport all day long for me. Might be the way you drive?

I doubt our system is the cause of the lack of pops and bangs. Its not that big a silencer!

youtube is your friend. Plenty of cars running our system and they pop and bang on overrun. Its a shorter backbox than the supersprint but is an 8" diameter. Its louder than the saxsport by a db or so.
