   What is the verdict on sportex back boxes then lads?
   
   Currently have a full magnex 2 box decat system but the backbox came with the car and i've always felt it was too big so i fancy something smaller. Dont want any huge increase in volume though!
   
   I quite fancy an oval tailpipe so that it looks a little more oe sorta style. The KamRacing system seriously tempts me its just the tailpipe i cant seem to make peace with!
   
   Experiences/Photos/Vids/Opinions with oval pipes, sportex back boxes or the kam system welcome

   Cheers for the link dude, sounds quite raspy though & i tend to prefer a deeper tone. Just cannot make my mind up though.
   
   Anyone else have some input?
   
   Might have to bite the bullet & get the Kam exhaust & do something with the tailpipe if i cant handle it. At least that way i know ive got a decent lightweight system.

   the kam supersprint system will be raspy, from hearing my friends sportex on his corsa, its was very deep and loud, why not get a custom backbox made??

   Not really wanting to go custom, what are ashley back boxes like? & what other brands do a small oval tailpipe?

   If you don't like raspy i wouldn't recommend you getting the supersprint backbox. Thought of piper?

    Piper are very nice sounding exhausts, Kev999_VTR has a Piper backbox and a Supersprint centre, sounds very nice indeed
