Suzie do you mean the middle box?

Without a back box it would really sound like it didn't have much of an exhaust at all!

A Magnex is good but for £150 I hope its a CAT back system. In other words the middle and back boxes.

£90 for a custom s/s aint bad. Assuming thats brand new and just the back box.

Put some gloves on and your nails will be fine! :wink:

Should be a straight fit, at least from what I remember its a push on fit with a U clamp plus two rubber mounts that just slide on.
