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?
the smokey old bus that sounds like a tractor...

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

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?

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?
