Sportex is generally pretty good, I've had my backbox on for over a year now with no problems, the fit was decent too unlike some other manufacturers

personally i wouldn't as theres no point driving a car asking to be pulled as i guess that would be very loud?
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
i think any straight through pipe would be load but dont know how load this is. i know powerflow do it and thats legal.

My old saxo's centre pipe was deboxed as standard and it's effectively the same engine as yours, it wasn't too loud, nice rumble though
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
jonny, dont worrie mate, ive got aone coming and its a straight fit. thanks for the offer though.

These are pretty good for money mate. i had one on my old old old dt and it was spot on mate no complaints
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
this is what i wanted to here, its a sportex back box im getting aswell so shouldnt have a problem fitting. how easy are theses to fit? i know i need a new clip that holds the backbox to the center pipe ( if anyone has one ) but is it easy to fit the center pipe to the fanny mould?
Re: is this any good? - Foxy-jim - 28-02-2012
Looks good mate! Would be good to see how much of a difference this makes!
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
not really looking to gain performance tbt as i dont really think i will see any, all needs replacing and dont want to put standered on.
Re: is this any good? - puglove - 28-02-2012
thinking about it i had that pipe on back box on my 1.4 106 that was 5 years ago and my mate still has it on his gti now and its still in good conditon considering its mild!
easy as you like to fit mate. pop down your local garage and bung em a fiver for a couple clips
Re: is this any good? - Foxy-jim - 28-02-2012
The only thing i would say is it may lose a bit of power as smaller engines need a bit of back pressure to gain mor epower.
I read this a while ago so someone tell me if im wrong?
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
mint. thats cool. only looking at keeping it on till i can aford a better one but you know what its like, it will still be on my car in years to come lol
jim lad, will let ya know jim, carnt be as bad as what it is now, the back box aint even connected to anything. lol
Re: is this any good? - puglove - 28-02-2012
well i think they are pretty good and i have 1st hand experience with them
Re: is this any good? - Foxy-jim - 28-02-2012
Haha ye that should be better! I have a cherrybomb midbox and have just heatwrapped the rest of my system! Sounds wayyy better now!
Re: is this any good? - kingy - 28-02-2012
costing me about £180 for the lot which i think aint that bad from what people are saying.
bloddy hell, not heard the word CHERRY BOMB in years. my mate use to have one on his capri. and beleive me, thats going back some years.
Re: is this any good? - puglove - 28-02-2012

Re: is this any good? - kingy - 02-03-2012
