Hi guys,

This is probably a well dead topic by now, but I am new here :)
What is the best sounding exhaust system for a 1.3 SR, and which one will give the greatest gains?

Cheers Everyone

There is SOOOOOo many! The best system for performance is a full system like Magnex, but this will set u back a few hundred!

As for just back boxes, you won't get much is power gains but you will get the noise! Any will sound better! Some like Peco will sound like a tank and others like Scorpion and Magnex will sound "sweeter"! If ya get me!

Just get the best your budget can afford!

do these custom exhaust MFR's do backboxes on their own?? and good companies i could call?

the reason i ask is i want a box for me saloon

i dont have the cash to get a full custom system just yet, but simply adding a backbox will make it look and sound nicer

if not i'll just have to fit one of those tailpipe covers from jetex and make do :'(

Try a Sportex system.

Mentioned this to a few ppl.

You can get a full system with a 3" backbox for ?110.

Sounds really good too

Currently got a 3" backbox on my 1.2 nova and it sounds crisp even wit a standard center section.

Power gains with a full system can be up to 10BHP. But if u got that extra bit to spend then get the Manifold too.

Can get ypu up yo around 15BHP

Ascar in sheffield sorted me out with a Twin 4" centre exit system for ?210 its got a Cobra Back Box and the only reason its in bad nick is coz i never cleaned it ever and in the winter i left it with snow on the slightly rusty bits which f*cked it up... its gonna have to be cleaned up and painted now.

I'd rather have a tuned engine than a cheap tacky back box to make the noise......

all of the powerflow 'zorsts i have heard have sounded sweet.

can have em as loud as u want cos they r custom made.

if u r just after loudness ashley r good (and cheap) but r made out of mild steel so they dont come with a lifetime guarantee
