   I say only Can think of it looking like a pea shooter. IMO a good all over exhaust with a nice note

   fitted my saxsport sounds mint with the rasp but it doesnt seem to pop as much as the pugsport ? maybe it needs to be worn in and carbon to build up but still a mint exhaust note ....

    You'll need to be running it on a 4-2-1 manifold mate to get it's full potential, pops and bangs and rasps all day long after a few week, i've got a 4-2-1 manifold on mine with a supersprint system, after 2/3 week it's worn in now and it's a definate head turner .

    mates got one on his vtr, but with standard manifold with cat in it so its not overly loud and has quite a deep sound rather than raspy. fitment and quality is great, hes got the oval one and it looks really good

    Here mate:
    
    
    
    I fit one on my old VTR which my mate now owns.
    Makes about 110bhp has a Piper 4-1 Manifold and a BMC
    
    Nowhere near as loud as on a 16v but sounds awesome for an 8v.

    well your gay i personally prefer the pugsport to the saxsport system, i like the high tinny noise and the amount of back fire i get every time i change gear at high revs with the pug sport system, i found the saxsport to be deeper with hardly any backfire and was a arse to line up properly

    i have saxsport on my 8 valve mk1, felt power loss when fitted as had race tube before. i have mani to. saxsport is just deep not raspy like the race tube. but i knew stainless is deeper than mild steel so what i expect.

    not better than any other really. Its just the original peugeot sport exhaust was used for Group N. off the top of my head the bore has to stay the same, but then the 50mm pipe works best for up to 190bhp anyway.

    It will not fit to the standard style centre pipe anyway.

    its an excellent exhaust, i like the 2" exit, sounds brilliant, even better with a 4-2-1.
    
    i have the decat full system on my vts btw.
    
    i would presume it would sound equally brilliant on a vtr though.
