   Afternoon all,
   
   I have just bought a new saxo, and just wondered what exhaust exit/system people would recommend for a good price? I dont want it really loud just a nice subtle sound is what im after.
   
   Dont want to spend more than £200 if im honest.
   Am based in staines, surrey
   
   Thanks

   Janspeed do a nice backbox for the saxo not big n stupid either, its about 3" to 3.5" round and has janspeed engraved on it. looks good. dosent make a loud nosie at all just a nice sound, plus its a nice sound when you put your foot down.
   
   There about £140/150 for the backbox off the internet brand new. Just type janspeed in on google and you'll probably find one.

   Depends what you want from the car mate... If your after more power then go for de-cat but if your just after a nicer sound but still want as good fuel consumption as you can get go cat back.... Doubt you'll find a full system including decat for sub £200 though. Might be wrong.....

   Sorry mate cant veiw that link...I'm at work and the compter security here block everything!! I'm suprised I cant get on here to be fair haha! I'll have alook when I'm at home.
   
   Well i've got the Cat back on mine, Decat will make it alot louder which is why i didnt bother.
   
   i think it was £240 for the Cat-back and back box. £140ish for the back box on its own.

   I havnt long fitted a scorpoin full system to mine, sounds really nice but a little loud for what you want by the sounds of it. If you had a scorpion cat back I think it would sound good....
   
   What sax have you got mate, I'll look for a price/link.

    No I've got the pipe from the cat back pipe and the back box. £240.
    
    Sounds nice too...not loud, nice sound when you put your foot down and the odd cheeky pop when your slowing down. Its a winner for me. Mates got same on his two.
    
    I'd try find a link for you but like i said i cant get on anything here I'll do it at home later but you may have found what your looking for by then.
