would somebody please confirm if this deletes the midbox?

OK, I gotta backbox and want to delete the midbox so fit a pipe that goes from the end of the midpipe, removes the midbox and hoops over the rear axle to meet the backbox pipe.

This looks like it does exactly that, but as it says midbox to midpipe its confusing me - does anybody know for sure if this does exactly what I'm after as the local exhaust shop is looking to charge me 100 pounds for an equivelant in mild steel.

Thanks,
David

Yep middle box, will be loud without it btw.

Perfect Wayne! So again, to doubly confirm (as I really want my exhaust done by this weekend) I can whip off the middle box, stick this pipe on and itll slip onto my backbox (give or take a few cm's - the exhaust shop can finalise it for a few quid I'm sure). And if it's loud all the better, just now with the mid box and no back box it's still virtually silent.

Yep spot on.

  you have no backbox and say it is silent

I'm tempted with one of these too, if anyone has a video of it fitted to stock exhaust system I'd be interested to hear

[gti3_elston]

that sounds like a good idea to me, as mine's really quiet!!!!

[dlongmu]

Sweeet dude  Ordering now!

Yeah,  that's what I thought - backbox isn't on car and you hear the faintest breathyish noise under full throttle. I was thinking it was some miracle engine! So I sure hope it will be a damned site louder with the mid-box removed. Silly q, I notice that 8v's do that funny puff on decel when tapping the throttle 1-2k revs, does that often translate to pops and bangs when the exhaust gets opened up? I remember seeing a few 8v mk2's which flamed like crazy!

Wind down the window and get yourself a missus like mine.You wont hear the exhaust  even if you remove the whole lot from the manifold back !

Back box seriously doesn't do much compared to the middle silencer. I ran without a backbox due to...ahem....loosing it on a country road, for a month or two and the car wasn't any louder than the standard exhaust, it was a bit throatier accelerating, but nothing even CLOSE to loud. Soon as middle silencer went and stuck on a small rear box, it popped and banged like a machine gun.
