   Not a bad price that......POTN can tend to take a long time delivering.

   i bought my ashley centre section from POTN service was ...... SHITE delivery was fast enough but there were bits missing but i was still charged full price an then when phoning them they didnt have a clue why i was pissed as they thought there were no bits missing an wanted to charge me more for the front pipe (missing bit), eventually had to phone direct to ashley an get them to explain to POTN what i was missing, soon got the part then lol

   definately a lot of mixed reviews on POTN. The part will fit fine though.

    If its going on a 1.1 it wont be loud. Well, i say that... It still roars like hell, but even on my VTR its not excessively loud like everyone seems to think. And thats a full system with decat!!

    It's not excessively loud. Put it this way, if you want to be noticed then it's the right one to get (you won't be disappointed), if you just want the looks then don't get it. And no i've got the 4".

    Here is a link to a very, very good online parts shop. I ordered a standard full system and it came within a day. Very impressed with the service from these.
    
    I looked on your avatar and got the car details . The prices still need VAT adding onto them but honestly the backbox will definately be with you in a few days (maybe not so much now as its Christmas time but....)

    I'd definateley go for the 4" then. It's probably a deeper sound than the 3" and i don't find it annoying lol. If anything, it's quite addictive to want to put you're foot down to get it even louder.
