WANTED - Cheap Straight-Through Backbox for a DT - me-tm - 13-04-2012
So, as the thread title suggests, I want a straight-through.
This is because my exhaust was leaking just after the downpipe for a while and after fixing it the car is all quiet and a teeny bit slower, boo!
I would really need it posted, unless anybody else is in the NE of Scotland! I'm open to even just a stock backbox with the innards gutted out. The only problem is I don't have a cut-out in the bumper (it's just an XLdt). I guess I could sort that out with some power tools...
When I say cheap, I mean cheap, like £25-30 tops.
What have you guys got then?

I could probably make on up for you? It won't be anything special but it will do the job...
I've made a couple for cars I've had.

This, then weld the tip off your backbox to it to turn it downwards, then weld on a bracket.
EDIT: Not that, it's stainless, but you get the idea.

Hmmm, I've heard of people getting bother from the polis for blatantly just having a pipe in place of the back box.
Strictly_derv - what sort of price we talking? I might ask a mate who has a welder if he could do something for some beer tokens actually, if I can get hold of a spare back box from the scrappy.

As long as you have at least 1 box somewhere in the system.. it's perfectly legal

Just wondering how I would declare that to the insurers.
"Hi, yeah, I've just totally removed the back box. No, it's totally legal, yeah, ok, bye!"
Not trying to flame you or anything, I honestly have no idea, lol.

Hmm, my mate can't do any welding right now for personal reasons, he just phoned me. Ah well...
