   A while ago i considered getting a 4" slash cut back box but having seen pictures with them on i think they look stupid.
   
   Im now considering a 3" outwardly rolled peco back box such as the one below. (best pic i could find)
   
   
   
   I want something with a nice tone that sounds quite beefy when i plant my foot but dont want it to be stupidly loud that it gets annoying on the motorway (not that i spend much time on the motorway).
   
   What do people with 1.1s have/recommend? Would the 3" one do the trick?

   oh ok. iv heard that the quality of ashley isnt the greatest. Does anyone else know what is available for the 1.1? All can find is scorpion with a dual exit tailpipe and peco.
   
   EDIT; Ive also found sportex. Are they any good?

    i've got a peco 3 inch inward rolled on my 1.0,
    
    when i put my foot down its sounds nice and get to its loudest at 3-4000 rpm, but you can hardly hear it in 4th gear at 30,
    the problem is on the motorway at 60-5 its right at its noisiest point so you have to go 80 and its ok then!

    the supersprint centre sections fit all models of Saxo. Then look at either the Supersprint Race backbox or Piper ones which all fit

    Supersprint one looks a bit to small at 50mm. There arnt any piper ones avail for the 1.1 only the 1.4 and vtr/s.
