Post by dubpilot »

i know its not "wow!" but its good enough for me and for £50 installation fee (including stainless pipe to middle section), i think its not bad. feel free to comment lads...

performance? not much from what i can feel, a bit of extra push around the mid-range... noise? only after 3500 rpm, anything below that you wouldnt even notice you had a performance back box. its not a vulgar back box until you push the engine.

Any chance of standing back a bit and talk a photo while standing up

Reason i ask : My car goes for a custom stainless stell backbox on the 9th - and ive to decide if i want it hidden (like now) or if i want it to show - and i cant make my mind up what to do

i did have that dilemma as well for the longest time, hidden or shown? its all down to personal taste i suppose. but the dude who put the box on said if i was to do something with the car shouldnt i be proud of it and let everyone see? so he made the decision for me and turned out to be quite true, i do like to stand back and admire the work (or cash) i put onto the car. but like i said, its down to personal taste and there's no wrong or right. anyway, here's another pic to help out...

i got my exhaust before my coil-overs and i honestly didn't like the look of it until i dropped it.

I think alloys and lowering come hand in hand.
