    Its not really the tailpipe that changes the note but more the size of the opening from the can and the can itself.
    
    ie you could have a round tailpipe and a oval tailpipe if the back box is the same inside and the hole the exits from the can into the tailpipe is the same the note wont change.
    
    Id go for an oval the one at present is a tad too big. What kinda setup you got exhaust wise? Manifold, cat, centre box etc etc

    and then that one but slash cut slighty, very similar to this
    
    
    
    Just not sure, some more pics of oval exhausts on saxo would be brill

    its just the the rear bumper slants the same way as the second tailpipe and then would look good, if you know what i mean
