    janspeed is the best by a mile but expensive stuff imo, best bet is ashley competition, search them on google and you can buy of their website.

    Well to be honets you could spend alot on any of the leading brands like Magnex/Janspeed/Piper/Mongoose/Scorpion but these will set you back around £130 just for a back box and will need abit of modifing to fit a flat arched bumpered saxo.

    Your best bet is to find a second hand unit that way it leaves more money to have the hangers and rear bumper sorted to allow the back box to fit

    Start with the 4sale section on here and then eBay

    Then any desent custom exhaust shop or mechainic Should be able to fit it for you.

    Hope that helps

    Well its generally excepted that them five are the best performers, there are others out there but they are normally little more expensive or harder to come by ie Supersprint/Sebring/Ashley/Jetix/Remus/Devil

    Personally I would have been more drawn towards either another Peco or Sportex back box as Im not overally sure if the the value of say a new Magnex/Janspeed/Piper/Mongoose/Scorpion would be worth it on a 1.1 but like I mentioned it would be a different story if you could sourch a secondhand unit.

    It might be worth looking to non saxo back boxes also as the acutal cans are pretty much the same its just the pipework that comes out the other side that links the can to the rest of the system that changes.
    A desent custom exhaust shop or mechanic could weld new pipework on the end of the back box and new hangers as well for you.

    Not to everybodies tastes but custom is alwasy another option look to eBay or www.essexracing.com for custom back boxes.
    Custom doesnt mean 5' Jap cans sticking out everywhere.

    I had a custom exhaust built to look like a 2' Group N style race system and doesnt look custom.



    and one from underneath



    There are loads of options for exhaust it just depends on if you can find what you want and then find somebody to do it for you
