    What sort of noise do you prefer?
    Do you like a light tinny 'rasp' sound or a deep boomy sound.

    I think you said you had a VTR?

    I would just go for a Supersprint 2" with a straight through pipe.

    Sportex is about as deep as you get without sounding or looking chavvy. The backbox is pretty loud and with a straight through pipe is even louder

    I got a GT3 exhaust off ebay and i was shocked at the quality of it. one of the cheapest centre pipes and back box's ive seen and its so nice!!
    It's quite loud and quite bassy without being overpowering to all road noises. certainly turns a few heads. I got a back box and straight pipe with no silencer but i kept my cat in because i cba to change it out for the MOT and stuff. HIGHLY reccommend it.

    ebay buddy, they're an ebay company but trust me they are so nice, it's only made of mild steel so wont last a lifetime but can last between 4-5 years.

    Dont take long to fit and i jsut left one piece of pipe out as i kept my cat converter.
    only took 2 days to arrive too

    Just search ;GT3 Exhaust' on ebay and look in their shop for a saxo one.

    Would you happen to know the name of the ebay company? Or is GT3 exhaust just it, because all I can find is exhausts for 911's from america lol.
