Talking Straight backbox or angled?

Has anyone got a bugeye with an afterburner
Backbox? Is it best fit with a straight or angled backbox?
Also has that backbox got a cat in it?

Angled on a bug is ideal, get a little more flow on the angled boxes.

It won't add a lot of power. Might feel like it because of the noise. The pipe that joins to the box is the resonator pipe. You can change that without the need for a map and no worries come not time cos its not a cat. Plus it'll be substantially louder.

This part of the system is known as the cat-back.

Here is my afterburner angled exit on my blob.








Not the best pictures, but you get the idea.
