im also lookin at these and wouldnt mind some info

 

[Chris1]

Well they sell one for the LC on ebay for like 170 quid cat-back, looks decent but?

Info people!

Iirc Sportex is a budget brand, no idea if they're any good though

 

[sambryant]

well i had a full system om my old saxo vtr a few years back. it was mid steel however i was very pleased. sounded really nice and sporty and not chavvy. i think for the money they cost they are very good. hope that helps a little

From what I can find on both ebay & their own website they only do a backbox for the Leon.

they do a "race tube" which replaces the middle box afaik... so effectivly cat back with no silencer, no idea on sound on these though. dont think anyone has these fitted

Quite a loud system, not that great quality.
Don't buy if you want it to last.

 

[james walker]

2 year warranty aswell? but as said, dtainless is lifetime usually

Fair do's, I only had a quick look, I stand corrected.

 

[Chris1]

Fair play, thanks for the info lads, might end up going with a full scorpion system instead then

mmm interesting....

 

[tom-coupe]

was going to say best thing to do for the sound is to look on youtube

 

[SalSheikh]

i remember a mate having one on his car (not going to reveal what it is as you lot will laugh!) and it sounded pretty decent. he then changed it for another make and it sounded crap afterwards so he put the sportex one back on.

venom motorsport have a ig range of exhausts, magnex cat back for £208!!!
