used to have one on mine 3" outward rolled tailpipe with cat, sounded just right, not too loud or raspy, well worth the money

Agree 100% with that.
Ive had manifolds touching the sump. Backboxes burning the bumper etc.
They always fit terribly.
But they are ok for the money. Dont last long as there mild steel. But they sound quite nice.

i've had a cat back, sportex exhaust which was a bit of an arse to fit as didn't line up with the hangers properly.
had a couple of backbox's which i haven't had any problems with at all. They sound nice, have a deeper 'rumble' but not chavtasticly loud at all, sounds more or less standard untill you put your toe down

May mate had a 4" one on his 214, it sounded quite nice and was a good low, loud rumble and sounded great after about 4000 rpm, but I think that was down to the engine.

That's a good description, don't know how it fit though because he got some exhaust and tyre company to do it for him
