Hi,

Currently have a magnex oval back box, just got this backbox to go with a flame kit.
So which one will work best?
which one do you like the best?

Thanks

yep i quite like the back box but the rear pipe is just too long its like a massive S shape!
would prefer a straighter piece o pipe.

Wallis's car is coverd in dust, so you will be eating it if you go anywhere near it!

Wallis i can run faster than your scoob, you will be eating the dust from my nike air max fool!
For the time being anyway

Got the short shifter done took 15mins with the correct tools and lost about 45% of the throw.

Nitrous isnt an option, its a way of life....

hey you wallis dont spill the beans on Project L

Also got an H&S centre section.

Its now a 1.8 GL (hush) not a turbo! well to the population of Rounday Rd occupants.

The bung actually make alot of difference..
with it in, the low end is noticably better, pickup is smoother and you feel the turbo kick in more.
Without - its loud and you cant feel the turbo kick in as much1 strange really!
