OK the funds have come in for a new back box?
Quicksilver?
Elise Parts?
Larini?

Other suggestions.

I'm looking for something with a grunt but not so much as to annoy me on longer runs as I use the car as a daily driver.
Opinions would be appreciated.

Oh and it will be getting mated to a Hurricane Induction System.

Cheers

I have had 3 Janspeed types on S1's. An oval type one on a 111s sound really nice; it had standard air filter.

Also, had a s1 Bell & Covill 160 with a B&C exhaust, with a Hurrican filter- sound great too but gave me a headache sooner than the Janspeeds.

Had a S1 with hurrican with a twin pipe type Janspeed, was great.

Not tried any others.

I have the Larini on mine and love it to bits. Have just fitted a Hurricane as well (see previous post) and am loving it all the more. Can't speak for the other zorts i'm afraid as i've not tried them.

Happy shopping.thumbup

Bell & Colvill's one is very good. Had one on my first S1 and it sounded lovely with the Huzza.

Ive got the Larini on mine (s1 111s) & would recommend it, its beautifully made, easy to fit and sounds great, its a lovely sound without being obtrusive and is very quiet at speed when cruising, I used the car as an every day tool with it. They get a little louder with age but not much. If you want it to sound awesome then fit a de-cat pipe and you'll get pops, bangs & and loud rasp, im not sure the de-cat pipe does the performance of the 111s any favours tho as I felt mine may have lost a bit of mid range with it fitted - vvc isn't supposed to like them but i hear different things from different 'experts'

Whatever system you get, it'll make a world of difference to the metro -like crap sound the standard system makes!

Another vote for the Larini. I found it was just too loud to live with without the cat. It sounded terrific, but made my ears bleed. I've now put the cat back on and it's perfect. Fairly mellow if cruising, and sporty when you floor it.

Thanks for all the comments...
It seems that the Larini back is getting a good following.
Funny thing is, the guys over on the Seloc site seem to be suggesting the Elise Parts as the better option.

Any more opinions will be thrown into the pot.

Once the decision has been made I'll let you know.
(P.S. The missus is now up for a weekend away shopping in Edinburgh so costs may have to play a factor - the things we agree to in order to get out toys)

From what I've heard, the Eliseparts one is very good quality but pretty loud compared to others....

You heard correct.
