hi people!
im thinking about geting a sprotex backbox and ive been told the 3" ones sound nice and arent to loud ( which is what im looking for btw )
but the bloke whos had my car before me has cut the back bumper away slighty to fit my current back box on ( a twin square exit )
so ive seen a 4" oval sportex what il fink will look better and fill the grove in my bumper better and im just wndering if anyone has got the back box im looking at and if so are they realy loud?
thanks for youre help in advance people!

Dont really know of anyone having that one, it will be louder than a 3" though, by how much i cant really say.

im not a fan of sportex but i would think a 4inch oval would fill the cut out, might even look abit silly on a saxo if its huge

all sportex backboxes have the same sound,
it is only the tip that's different,
they are apparently quite noisey if you have a straight through centre pipe,

there's a video on there of one with a straight through and a decat,
sounds awesome!,
if you search sportex on youtube a few come up,
i'm after an oval one myself with a straight through pipe,
but i'm a fan of loud exhausts hahh,
shouldn't be too loud if you keep a silenced centre though.

personally i wouldnt get a sportex back box if u want something relatively quiet. I have a 3 inch sportex backbox on my saxo and it is painfully loud when giving it abit of beans.
