I am looking at either a Sniper or a Sportex backbox to fit to my Corsa B, I was just wondering what one in your opinion will be better?

I will also be fitting it to my cat, any suggestions as to what you prefer and why?
Is one raspier then the other, and does the cat silence it that much?

Thanks everyone.

never heard of sniper,

sportex are realy good for the money however due to not being stainless they will rust

mine is 3+ Years old and its got rusty joints and holes in the back back box,

Ahhh I see sniper are meant to be quite a good make, does your sportex exhaust pop and is it raspy?

1.2 8v

with a cat pops on over run, was slightly raspy but that will depend on the size of the back box

i would get a video but it sounds shit now with the hole in back box, and think ive put one in the centre too

they are a good fit

i have sportex race center and 3" back box

I was going to get a 3 inch backbox and keep my cat on. Just wanted to know what they both sound like both with and without a cat.

That is what i was looking at, it is stainless as well so will not rust as fast as the sportex.

copper grease all the joints at a guess, will make it come apart easier aswell

3" powerflow rear back box with a straight through pipe will make anyone turn around from the raspyness and also very loud and growly, if too raspy which in my opinion it was because i got annoyed with it, i put a small middle section in and sound perfect! easy fit, stainless steel so not rust and very nice price to buy !

Awesome, I want one that sounds like the Powerflow one, not sure how much it is going to cost though.
