to be honest i think back boxes are pointless what do they do make a little more noise add about 0.0000001 bph in my opinion get a sports cat on it and then straight through ish just get everything just to legal standards youl get more bph and it will sound mean if you just have the straight through it sounds poo


just my opinion :)

1.2? a tailpipe that big would look out of place and too big for a vectra...never mind a 1.2 C-B.

whats the point of putting something that high profile and big enough to sleep in, on a car with a small-ass engine?

i dont understand some people. they sound crap...just a fart as there isnt enough pressure!

i had a scorpion imola on mine and it sounded great. when it was idling it sounded pretty normal, and only really came alive above 3k. It was quiet low down, and then when it needed to be, the volume rose. It had a resonated tail pipe so sounded really nice.

If not that one, then a magnex system is the other option, but i liked the way the scorpion sat, so you couldnt see much of the box.
