   Basically i have a 1.4 furio (vts kit) with a back box that looks like someone took a grinder to it, so i am after a new backbox. but i'm not sure whether to go for a 3.5" scorpion

   or a sportex oval?

   im thinking about that same sportex exhaust the only down side i can see is that they have no resale value

   Sportex systems are cheap to buy hence why resale value is lower

   i'm not worried about the resale value, just want it to look good, i havent seen the scorpion on a saxo yet, i have seen the sportex on a few and it looks lush but i thought it might be a bit too quiet?

   they make qute a nice noise but it depends if u want stupidly loud or a nice rumble all personal choice i got a sportex with a de-cat and i like it cus its pretty quiet unless you put your foot down then u get a nice note and a pop on gear changes.

   ive got a 3" sportex backbox on my 1.1 and tbh its ridivulously loud between 3000 - 4500 revs and thats when its just me in the car :/ tryin' to sort out an adjustable baffle or a centre silencer.
   Its pretty hard to find a exhaust that sounds good and at the same time not toooo loud.
