Cheap backbox for exclusive
Hello, I just wanted to change my backbox to a better one, so it sounds better. I have looked on ebay for like 3" ones those universal ones.. i want something that's not very loud.
Also, what else do i need apart from a back box?> my mate told me i need that pipe aswell... what pipe is that?
Thanks!

try sportex mate.
universal ones will look shite, and be aharder to fit, sportex back box is like £80, and is made for your car, and will sound alot nicer, and will last a lifetime. also comes iwth a 12 month warranty.

not trying to sound rude but you dont seem to know much on the subject, if thisis the case buying a cheap box for £45 is going to cost you alot more in the long run, when you buy these you just get the box, no way to fit, which means you may have to buy more things to fit and if you dont no what your doing your then going to pay more for someone else to fit? why not jus spend around £80 as said above and get 1 that will fit straight onto your car and you can fit yourself, no mess no hassle, and 1 to think about is fitting a universal box to a saxo is alot more awkward then most other cars so may even cost you mre, hope this helps

Will this fit on directly?..
, also, where does it come out because my rear bumper only has a small little hole for the original exhaust, but the top is curved down,

yeah that'll be sweet m8, you can get a fair box for that, i personally like the piper boxes as i like the sound but most will say its a matter of opinion, stuff like this isnt worth cheapin out on as they end up costin more, most of the boxes you buy that are made to fit are fully stainless and will last longer than your car, alot of them come with guarantees aswell, good look m8
