i dont think they are louder, just more rumbly and grunty!
drives better too!
-
My back box to rear silencer is all one unit...my back box is gone aswell...would that pipe on ebay do the business or is there welding involved? Would have to cut the back box away from the rear one if u know what i mean
-
i had to cut some off, cant remember which section though!

Not a bad bit of kit for the money TBH

Nice one, you'll love the sound with the middle box removed. Just be aware however, that ebay link you posted is the exact mid-box replacement pipe I bought - and my mechanic-mate-dude had a bit of a hard time getting it to sit right. Not a major ball-ache, but a fair bit of swearing went down.
-
sit right wich end mate?
as said before my back box is atached via flexi pipe so when i atach middle pipe to new bit as long as other end is near the backbox i can flex the pipe to match.
did it come with hanger bars or did you have to buy universal hangers for it?

towards the front of the car. I'm not exactly sure what the problem was other than he said it needed a bit of fettling. It wasn't a problem connecting to the back box/pipe. And yeah, hanger bar attached. Its actually a really well made piece of kit, good quality steel.

nice1 as long as it has the 2 bars at the back in the middle of the pipe same as standered box it will be sweet as my rear is flexi so need it to be sturdy there.
was abit worried as it dont show hangers atached in the ebay pic.
looking forward to fitting this now.
so whats the deal with strait through exhaust and mot,s then?

Doesnt have the 2 bars, it has a single bar that runs in line with the exhaust, you have to replave yr twin hanger with a single one, get yaself to a scrappers and pinch a single hanger from the backbox section of a car, these are a direct fit so no real hassle there, plus if yr backbox has a flexi fitment on it then it should be a doddle to fit :wink:
