anybody know of anything.

lol severe lack of replies lol, best bet is KAM racing he has a good site

http://www.kam-racing.co.uk/index.php they sell supersprint one for the saxo has some very good reviews (is NOT stainless though)

depends what your after mate, from what your saying steer away from the large bore ones 4in plus... maybe something with a silencer still in it, peco are loud, im not sure what mine is but its not too loud the ashley ones are also very loud

tbh myself i would look for a used one off here in the for sale section some really decent exhausts come up at good prices many with lifetime gaurentee's

powerflow could do you a custom one im sure they could do to a budget too and can ask for a quiet one

good luck buddy!

If your after a rally stlyee one get a supersprint, other than that i would go for something like a magnex or scorpion.

A few people on here vote for the ashley system, including me. Its very good value for money and one of the best for performance.

And dont listen when people tell you they are very loud cus theyre not. At least mines not. Mines a twin box system and its got a real deep barble but its not loud an offensive.

Half the price, as good, if not better performance, same life span, better sound

lol,

My ashley set up on my old car was spot on, no mods needed

Ha ha got beat to it

For me there is only to types of exhaust that work well on a saxo

Ashley - excellent noise good gains.

Supersprint - Not as much noise but excellent gains

If i was to do it all over again defo go for the Ashley

I have a Magnex cat-back 3.5" tip and love it. Rimstyle are selling them for £270 which is the same as I paid for mine and dont regret buying it, not too loud but when u give it some they sound really good.

For the past year, from when i bought one!

Powerflow with a 3.5" tailpipe with 2 silencers in, that's what I originally had and although it was rather quiet it had a lovely tone to it but I recently had 1 of the silencers out as I wanted a bit more noise! A lot of people slate Powerflow but I rate 'em, good performance gains and if REVS magazines results are reliable then it is the best you can get for a Saxo, and they look & sound nice, can't grumble

immense · 11th March 2008, 13:11

Oh & you get your lifetime guarantee and have it all checked and cleaned up every year from date of purchase

Dont wanna turn this into a slanging match but powerflow are not a performance exhaust. They are purely made to look nice and sound nice.

He said he wanted to add power and not too loud. Not loose power and have it excessively loud!

If they were any good they would be used on high performance engines in motorsport. But theyre not...

The likes of ashley, supersprint, piper etc have given proven results in grasstrack and other motorsports.

Oh and then there is the small fact that a poweflow system lost 4bhp on my old escort...

So stick with the brands you know and you wont go far wrong

grantlowery · 11th March 2008, 13:15

I reccomend a supersprint from Kam just because I have one lol.
I do like the look of the Scorpion offerings though, look to be a very good build quality.
