   John, who owns GMC motorsport is looking to do another batch of Saxo BTB's but needs one car to be test fitted with a new one before they make the entire batch.
   
   They are not cheap but they are the dogs bollox.
   
   Would be cool if someone would step up and get the first one so a whole load of new btbs would be available.
   
   John doesn’t use any other site than SSC so here’s the link with all the details:

   Forum rivalry aside, this would benefit anyone with a saxo looking to go for big power!

   Still ran very well did the old systems on NA engines.
   
   I know of several engines that worked well with them, it was the best exhaust I fitted to my VTR out of a few different mixes of systems

   Whenever i have looked at old threads on here, people have said its more for Turbo cars
   
   And i wrote, "more for" suggesting that they suit Turbod cars better.

   You pays your money and makes youre choices.
   
   Ive had one, would I have another. Yes would be the reply.
   
   John origninally designed the system for his boosted cars, but they still worked quite nicely on NA cars

    Exhausts are all about choice, people make them. I honestly was very impressed with mine on a standard vtr.
    
    JPsaxo runs a BTB on an NA engine and alot of people on here rate joshes car highly.

    As they are amending the last setup, the new one might be totaly different.
    
    Tempted to give it ago but would need another vts which defeats the point of getting the vtr.

    Looks like the price will be £450+ VAT.
    
    And an unknown cost for everyone else, so id suspect it to be higher than that.
    
    John wants a car with a BTB manifold it looks like to.
