Back box replacment

umpkin · #1 10-01-2010, 11:57

I have an SE exhaust on my s12, and the back box is going, now as SE are no longer about, i cant get replacment.

can anyone suggest a cheap mild steel rear box that i could use in place of the SE one, the pipework i think is between 2.5" - 2.75" and is a single box system, i dont want to put one on thats to small and have it stupid loud, but a bit is fine

i was looking at possibly a std rear box from a 89-90 Escort RS turbo, they have 2.5" pipework, and use a single box, and its oval same as my current, not got a price yet.

any ideas, cheers guys.

yeah i saw load of stainless ones on there, im looking for mild so i can weld it onto existing pipework, cant see the poor car last much longer, rust is setting in in places now.

the RS rear box will be bout 20- 30 quid i should think.

cheers for the info m8.

Demon tweaks do mild steel boxes in all pipework sizes

ooo yeah, not to bad price either for them, 2.5" box bout £60 but not really much info if this be ok for a single box system??

the RS one is a single box system, and has a length of pipe to help me make it fit. ill weigh up the price.

cheers for the input.

I ran an exhaust with just a mid box and no back box, just pipe and it wasn't that loud at all.
