Tuning Differences in Bravo exhausts

[RobBravo]

After servicing my Bravo and getting it all up to standard. I am happy now to move onto more fun activities.

Can anyone please tell me if there are any differences between the 120 Bravo exhaust and the ones found on the Sport? Other than looks of course.

Are there any performance benefits?

How about noise levels? Is it more grunty or sporty?

If not, has anyone fitted an aftermarket set up that isn't too loud. It's a family car first and foremost so I don't want it sounding like a Rover 25 with a baked bean can shoved on the end of it

Thanks

Exhaust

Yeh that's sick. Have any issues with gutters or anything? My home parking is reverse park up to a gutter, I always catch the back box on the back of mine. Judging by this though it looks higher. And you also can't see the back box which is brilliant. As you can see with my dynamic just as you know from having one. The back box drops very low behind the gutter. (Not my car, images plucked from the net cuz they show the back box better than I ever can. My pictures always come out black lmao)

No mate no issues ,u cant see the box cause its on its side in the space ,and theres a weebit cut out of bumper to make it higher ,i realy like it considering the garage it had the mot at tryed to charge 110 for an original new box i thought payibg the extra 40 would b worth it ,and it was
