exhaust style?
my car is booked in for a new exhaust system on wednesday and im wondering what style backbox to have, im thinking a standard style with a larger bore as the car is OEM looking, the engine is a 2.0 16vg60, any ideas? pics would be great cheers

Personally I don't like the aftermarket round back box, it's too visible unde the rear valance. Much prefer the oval shape which hides under the car more, like the original. Longlife exhaust company are very good I'm told, Powerflow vary depending on the franchise.

This is mine.
Full system from longlife.
Sits in exactly the same postition as the original but is half an inch bigger.

60mm instead of standard 48mm with the original 'flick' rounded tailpipe would be good, IMO. Keep it quiet, prefer the sound of the induction not the wailing of the exhaust - leave that to the Saxo's please!
