Peco back box??
Has any of you guys ever had a Peco stainless steel backbox?
If so, was it any good? Did it sound ok or was it too loud and chavvy??
Thinking of getting one for the old girl!!
Cheers all.

Haha blast from the past.
I had a Peco big bore 4 on my old xr2i.
It was fairly loud from what I remember but at the time I thought it sounded brilliant.
I'm a big kid so I'd get one today if I had a car for it to go on lol

Loud exhausts on standard cars is horrible.
Set of wheels and springs then whack the peco on.
That's just my opinion though.
It's like by mine, standard focus with an RS spoiler. Looks stupid.

Think they went bust several years back.
God knows who manufactures them now but they're still available.
