Backbox

21st April 2007, 00:27

Hellooo im looking for a backbox for my mk2 vtr, not bothered about performance its sound i want.
What brands are dececnt and how much are they?

Also how much is it to have a back box fitted at a garage?

21st April 2007, 00:29

Just realised i posted this in the wrong place, any chance it could be moved?

go for a piper back box they sound awesome, not too loud when crusing but then when you give it some well it sounds wicked.

depending on whether you buy a universal exhaust or a direct fit one will determine fitting costs, a direct fit one should only cost a max of one hours labour so about £35-45. a universal one may require modifications to the piper work etc so the price may be more

21st April 2007, 00:33

Yeah a piper 4" slash cut is what you want, they sound and fit really well.

21st April 2007, 00:44

21st April 2007, 00:49

a magnex on its own isnt exactly loud i have a video of mine somewere a soon as the whole system is on ad sealed up its a lot quiet, but thats wht i wanted

21st April 2007, 13:20

sound is different to noise!
theres a nice note which isnt loud, and then theres a badger with the shits.

21st April 2007, 13:20

imo magnex boxs are the best loooking backbox for the saxo, but if you want noise theres no point going for a magnex really, go for a piper as said. also have a go and fit it your self mate.

21st April 2007, 13:31

sound and noise are the same mate, just different words

if you want noise/sound i wouldnt get a magnex tbh

no theyre not.. a sound is a note, a good sound does not mean lots of noise!!

Noise is totally different to a good sound......

21st April 2007, 13:41

its a discriptive word.

same as note.

Noise is a sound, but in terms of a discription lots of noise doesnt mean a good sound.

21st April 2007, 13:45

blah blah blah

got to ask yourelf one question, who give a fook

21st April 2007, 13:46

if you can understand my comment, im saying that LOTS OF NOISE doesnt allways mean a good sound to the exhaust..

a silent note can have a better sound that one which just makes lots of noise

its just something im trying to explain as alot of people purchase stuff from reading words differently.

21st April 2007, 13:50

sound noise same to me, i couldnt car really

alll im saying is a magnex backbox isnt that loud and thats what the lad wants, a piper is a lot louder, ask hessy he swapped with cloud as he wanted a quieter exhaust

21st April 2007, 13:55

imo its a persons preference as to whether or not a sound is a sound or just a noise, you might not think some exhausts are not very nice sounding, pred might think differently, another person might think different pred. its all to do with personal opinion.
Back on topic if you want a 'loud' exhaust dont go for a magnex backbox.

21st April 2007, 13:56

thanks you thats all im saying if he wants noise/sound a magnex is one exhaust you shouldnt be looking at

noise = volume of it
