   does anyone have the oval sportex and have any pics to show me? are these systems loud? i have a poweflow at the moment which is pretty much silent when cruising, but picks up when accelerating etc which i really like, i dont want something which will deafen me on the motorway!
   also does anyone know if the sportex cat back system comes with a middle silencer as i need a system without this because my cars so low!
   thanks

   I remember on a very old saxo meet about 2 years ago, there was a lad there with an oval sportex system, very throaty indeed, looked tidy too! Didnt get any pictures of it unfortunately mate

   Sportex boxes are about £80-£100 Id rather buy a Stainless Steel one though such as a Piper one or Magnex will last longer and are much nicer.. these retail around £140 - £160 Well worth it in my opinion.

    I've got a Sportex Backbox on VTR it's the 4" Jap Style. It's deff better than the standard backbox. Gives it sports base tone and sound good when accelerating but isn't loud when driving down the motorway. I got mind from here...
