Tuning Sportex exhaust system
Only on Cinqs.
On Cinqs they're horribly noisy -- anything over 40 miles becomes painful. Plus side, they're heavy gauge and last a long time. See how they compare with the Cybox (stainless) price wise..

Sounds pretty good, get it. Make sure its the 'race' one without centre silencer
What it the bore of the pipes on a sportex system? Is it slightly bigger than standard?

Depends if you want noise or performance.
The legend that is Blu73 reckons the Cybox is good, & it's stainless, & not that much more expensive.
He's even posted a YouTube clip of it.
It's meant to be the sound of the car running.... but to me it sounds more like his problems with flatulence.

I've just fitted a Cybox system that I've modded slightly on my Cinq and would recommend it 
Got it cheaper cos I didn't want a fancy tailpipe.

Valid question!
AFAIK, all CE-approved exhaust have the same diameter as the stock exhaust, thus only bring small increases in power by having different silencers and pipes bent without deformation.
The Novitec system is (was) a 2" which clamped to the 38mm pipe coming of the cat. This is also CE-approved and noisy like nothing else. A more silent version exists which has the same bore as stock and alledgedly brings close to no power increase.
The group N (?) from Imasaf is (was) also a bigger bore, though for racing use only. I think the same goes for the OMP group N exhaust as well.
^^ Mind you, this info I've acquired recently by going through different forums on the Internet. It is not based on personal experience nor should it be considered facts. I do hope it can be grounds for prevailing the truth as I too am looking for an exhaust with a bigger diameter to save me a bit of work.
I'd go for the Cybox system then. It's well made and they are friendly and helpful too. Mine is only loud cos I'm running a decat.
It's not listed on their website but they do systems for early and late Seicentos, give them a ring:

lol - remember on that car the turbo is muffling the noise though, would be louder on an NA. And it rattled on the bumper a bit there. Seems louder than it was in that video to be honest.
Paul that bought my sei has that exhaust for sale i believe - don't think its sold yet. I can confirm it was very well made bit of pipework though, neat welds and decent quality steel.
