Just wondering which backbox you guys recommend I get. Dont want anything really loud just sporty..Not one where you can see the large silencer box either, cut into the bumper too if poss, single or double? only after the back box. Any replies will be appreciated. Cheers

Just a back box... simple and easy!! a straight swap one for another. .Cheers Kully
