Back Box Replacement, easy?

[Moonhead]

Afternoon Guys,

Has anyone here done their own back box swap out?
After the shenanigans with my exhaust dangling off etc I got a good look under the car and I wondered how easy it would be to fit a better looking and sounding exhaust without a full system change, has anyone had a crack themselves?

Cheers

cut old out, hang the new one, attach a pipe coupler, Simplest thing in the world.

Just like changing socks.

Wait.... you're supposed to change your socks ? :confused:

biggest concern would be putting it on ramps to sort it

Now- if you had a garage with a pit..... we looked at a lovely bungalow in Hassocks 4 year ago, double garage and a pit!!!!!!!

Wife wasn't impressed. We didn't move there :-(

Cheers guys, any recommendations for decent quality back boxes?

Cheers, is it all one piece or will I have to cut the pipe?

If its just the back box you want, you will have to cut the pipe and get a reducer joint, as not sure what size pipe your VTI exhaust will be
From what i recall the OEM THP Dsport was 54mm pipe, my Bastuck was 63.5mm pipe

The complete bastuck system (Cat back) was £900 plus the install and without a mid res

Or maybe just go to one of these exhaust specialist "Powerflo" or something like that and see what they say re a back box

Ive just sold my DSport backbox, and complete exhaust system, as that would have done you a trick

There we go

No mater what you get, backbox only or cat back, you will have to cut the pipe on the original exhaust to get it out.

go for it- it makes such a difference if you get the right one
