just a back box or from the cat back?
i got jetex on mine and you can hear it but it isn't as loud as other makes
i got from cat back on mine and that was about 300 notes from Reuben at Tuning Werkes... i think the back boxes on their own go for about 180 notes but you will have to check that

thanx for that, will have a look

Check out the Deals & Discounts section mate.
makes - weel a lot of people favour Milltec, but there are also Magnex, jetex, mongoose etc. etc.
Think its widely accepted that Magnex are the quietest and Jetex being fairly loud.

what does the magnex backbox sound like fella...???....its not silly loud is it...??....i was thinking of getting same for mine

Well chaps its a no go i dont know if Halwhatabagofs@@tfords has given me the wrong box or what but it dont fit. I brought it on the principal that it was a direct replacement but on reading the fiting guide it says i need to cut some of the other pipe away and fit this other mounting plate, what a load of turd why not just make a box that fits that would be the easy solution.
I read that Magnex test all there stuff on the cars making sure they fit and give good air flow etc etc well thats out the window int it. Well any way my mate got his grinder and welder ready for next weekend so ill let you know how it goes.
Also got stuffed from my main dealer i ordered 2 new side skirt mouldings the ones with the metal strip in them got them home fitted one side only took 10 mins went to do the other and the fookin end cap had snapped off in the box oh what joy, but some sealent sorted that.
On the loudness i read on the box that it sould not be any louder than 90db but ill let you all know next week..... :smiley:
