   Has anyone put a japcan on a saxo before? I got hold of one a few weeks ago and it looks like it will suit it quite well and hopefully get a nice sound off it. It'l sit at an angle out towards the passenger side aswell. Gettin it fitted on tuesday, il post some pics and let you's see

   Agree, 3.5 inch does look really good, i also like the look of the magnex, but i heard they sound the same as a standard exhaust until you rev/pull away?

   well there about the same note until you rev it and it warms up mate, also depends on if its with a standard manifold or sports one

    I prefer the exhaust like preds. It looks nicer IMO, big bore japcans should be left for something like the Toyota Supra.

    It's really not wise to put a jap can on a saxo in my opinion..... my first mistake when I bought the saxo was to put this 5 inch back box on, as I thought the bigger the better to be honest!!
    
    
    
    But then I learned from my mistakes!!

    I think 5" is way to big anyways i think the 3.5"-4" looks nice. Jungle Jims is ace, it looks much better when its straight and not angled.
