   Hi guys,
   Basically, my saxo sounds like its got a blow somewhere in the system, So I investigated to find out that it is not blowing. I visually checked plus tried the blocking off the exhaust end and seeing if it leaks... It didn't have any
   
   So someone said the back-box is broken. something to do with the baffles? Can anyone help me with this? Is there another test I can do so I know what the faulty part is?
   
   Cheers guys

   Take the backbox off and shake it. If you hear bits then the baffles are knackered or on way out or you could reseal the joins again..

   You should be able to feel a blow at one of the joins, mine used to do it between the mani and the centre until I got a new gasket.
