I want a back box....
« on: 26 August 2005, 10:25 »
..... but where to get one and which one?

I'm after something that sounds a bit fruity but isn't too kev and has nice tailpipes and not some huge bore stick your head up it tytpe affair. Also this is for a small bumper MKII so I don't want anything that's going to stick out miles.

Your thoughts and links folks!

I have a brand new stainlees steel back box. See my other post regarding sale advise. http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=26393.0
I may be selling it along with my car and a load of other new and used parts. If you are interested I'll take a photo of it and post it later. It is for a small bumper 8 valve.
