nova backboxes are all the same

so any backbox will fit as long as u match mk1 or mk2 for the exit position

I have looked around, on most of the adds for the exhaust it says 1.2 Onwards, I was thinking about a sportex exhaust (twin exit). Do these sound any good?

they sound nice' ish' at low revs, but they sound ' ting-aly' at high

but thats just what i think :!:

I would go for any backbox, but leave the system standard so it reduces the 'raspiness' that nova's are prone for

I have a twin powerflow box on my car and its not loud at all, i want it louder, its only decent at low revs, when moving it don't really make a noise, only when blipping the throttle.
And that on a 60bhp engine.
Rage are loud but hard to fit as universal, a few mates have sportex, and they are pretty loud.I wish i had got one instead of buying my powerflow.

Just been looking at exhausts, fancy a Cherry bomb exhaust.....look as if they will come out at an angle though and i really want to avoid that....

just me being dopey or do the cherry bombs come out at an angle, pointing to the left by about 30 degress?
