   Hey guys,
   
   new to this website and before anyone says anything i know that there is a search tool but i couldnt find exactly what i wanted....probably because im a d**k lol! but yeah, basically i have a saxo vtr mk2 and the only thing ive done so far is add a pipercross air filter to it! im looking for an exhaust to make it sound deeper and, well more meaty really!
   
   i was thinkin of only gettin a backbox but if ive read correctly know i can get a better sound from getting a catback. now im not really after performance just the sound so i dont wanna go over the top but what backbox/catback do people recommend?
   
   ive been looking at Sniper ones on ebay but i dont know much about these! any ideas guys?
   
   cheers
   
   p.s lovin the website

   would just a sportex backbox change the noise massively or would i be better off getting a system?

    right ok so koz im proper skinpin for cash atm, if i just get a backbox for the time being until i save up to get a center pipe, would that make much of a difference to the noise from my standard one atm?
