    is a 3.5 inch backbox too big for a saxo?

    my next door neighbour used to have a saxo and bought an £80 exhaust from motorworld. it was neevr fitted so brand new in box for £20 ?

    i have a 4 inch oval on my vtr and it looks nice because it fits perfectly in the cut out so a 3.5 inch round should be fine

    Just had my 3.5" installed today, sits wonderfully in the standard saxo cut out and looks good with the car too. Had a look at 4" but felt it looked too large.
