   I got a 4 inch carbon backbox and I don't think it looks to big
   It's down to personal preference

   4" will look stupid, 2-3" max.
   
   Mine is 3" but am tempted to go with a 2" Saxsport soon.

    Lad i used to know had a 4" piper slash cut back box and it looked good on his, filled the recess with a tiny gap of around 5mm all around and was cut to flow with the shape of the bumper.

    ive got a peco 4inch straight cut backbox. I love the way it looks and sounds. Its got a nissan sunny pipe welded to it to make it angle out the bumper for the true jap style
    Its a Very loud constant burble, and pops and bangs after every gear change lol
    
    I find the usual pea shooters pretty boring tbh, they dont fill out the gap

    It stuck out further when i hat my silenced centre section on, since fitting the supersprint centre section it pushed back abit, tbh i like it like that. I thought it looked abit daft before lol.
    
    Before the ss centre section
