    I've got a 3" Sportex, and im pleased with it. It's fairly loud but its fit great and is of similar value to the ashley. People tend to say the ashley doesn't fit too well and the hangers have to be adjusted in order for it to sit properly although i imagine it isn't difficult to adjust anyway.

    You need an adaptor to fit the ashley to the supersprint...thats what i've got. It sticks out to far cause of the adaptor so you have to cut part of it of and adjust the hangers for it to fit right.

    I presume they do as standard sizes are usually used with these exhausts. Or, get a sportex back box with the sportex race section. Does exactly the same job as the supersprint race section but it will be cheaper when bought with the sportex backbox and is guaranteed to fit.

    Do the backboxes make much difference in actual performance?
    
    I just thought it was everything else that did that..
    
    And a guy said Ashley Exhausts? Apparently they are a pain in the ass because they don't fit properly.
    
    Do what RhysVTS said, your best option for sure.

    i would stay away from the custom evhausts if i were you, very poor quaity. ive never seen a good one yet tbh.
    
    you would be far better advice going for a well known decent make. magnex, piper, SS, miltek, scorpion etcc.
    
    i had a nagnex on my vts, sounded awesone with the middle silencer removed

    For rasp i've heard sportex is good and for a quieter one magnex is best.
    
    Hear-say though, I have standard until my birthday in 3 weeks then I will start my progress thread

    Ashley 3", when i first fitted one on my car it was dodgy as hell, but all i had to do was move the brackets around(they are seperate to the backbox) and it fitted fine.
    
    Sound good aswell

    Yes, sound wise. I have the 3" Sportex Back box, and there is hardly any noise, compared to the same system on a smaller engined saxo, I'm assuming it's the CAT being in the mani that deafens the sound.
