If I get another stainless I'm holding out for another blue flame one.
I would never go near a sportex backbox. They are the absolute worst of cheap shit exhausts that are purely for noise! Exactly like i will never use a magnex exhaust.
First choice for me will always be mongoose exhausts, worth every penny of that asking price IMO. Settled with the scorpion due to price and quality though.
I cant see how your saying the sportex is shit quality, from the pictures on google they look better made than the Magnex ones that everyone fapps over, like theres 3 hangers on the back box all with the proper clips to retain the exhaust rubber for a start and the welding couldn't be worse than the magnex which is atrocious.

Yeah thats the last of the estate, gonna cut that up tomorrow.
I have used so many different exhaust systems over the years i feel qualified to judge.
Sportex is only mild steal hence the cheap price and the fact it'll rot out! I do NOT rate the magnex at all, constant piss poor quality problems with the one i had. Zakks hasn't been problem free but i think thats more because someone has heatwrapped the entire system so it keeps melting the middle hanger.
Scorpion has made good power on mine and sits perfectly, doesnt rattle / vibrate and is alot better made than the magnex.
