   joesnows sounds good, he has pro tech manifold straight through to standard backbox sounds good imo
   i was going to take my magnex off and put a supersprint which sold locally for £30 on but decided against it

   Thanks Steve lol! IMO I think it sounds good when it’s not blowing anywhere… which is hardly ever as none of the bits fit together very well… not too noisy but just sounds a bit beefier… and complete stealth

   ive never heard one not blow with after market parts and OE backbox.
   
   allways ends up sounding rough.

   You could get a straight through pipe and a decent backbox, it would sound quality.

    yes silenced center sections are by far the best imo.
    
    straight through pipes dont allways mean its a 'race spec' part lol

    TBH i think they loose you a bit of power on a NA engine
    
    work better on turbo cars

    why i went for a BTB on my TBd set up, placement of having a front box and a middle box.
    
    only boost you dont want the silencers due to the pressure involved with the turbo systems imo.

    Rough would be an understatement… sounds absolute gash atm… more of a problem with the manifold and de-cat rather than the backbox… think I need some more ridged engine mounts to stop my putty from coming off lol!

    refer my straight through setup:
    
    Supersprint 4-2-1+400mm(L) resonator+450mm(L)resonator+450mm(L)x150mm(R) backbox
    
    the pipe diameter all equal 50mm, no trim al well,
    there are just as quiet as stock one, the low end
    torque and high end HP gain at the same time.
    
    to slicely reroute the pipe after fuel tank, let it 99% "straight"

    VTR with 4-1 mani and £100 centrepipe/backbox jobbie, shall i just buy a back box, as i dont see how the centre-pipe i doth possess could yield lower performance from a one that costs like £150 on its own ...
    
    so im thinkin just get a backbox, cos i can imagine how these benefit the throughput of exhaust gases, by being louder n stuff. (less silencing materials etc). this way i could see myself shelling out about £100 for a nice backbox.
    
    any ideas lads n lasses? x
