Hi, I like the new look of this to replace the Og backbox on my 325i touring.

Mainly the price and angled tips. I really like the original sideswept twin exit, but I need more inline 6 sound.

(Anyone got one? The pic seems to be upside down on the listing incidentally)

You need to tread carefully with after-market back boxes. Quality and fitment can be suspect, as can the noise, and any claims of power gains should be taken with a pinch of salt. If you're after a tried and tested chav cannon then Scorpion is probably the way to go.

Sorry op but this has got cheap Chinese cack written all over it. Personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. Each to their own, but I'd say fitment would likely to be very poor and probably more hassle than it's worth imho.
